    Overall rating: 3.7 / 5 from 3 reviews.

    Planted these in pots. Some foliage--no blooms. Not one out of 3-4 packets. Finding this a problem with many of the cosmos from Eden. Disappointing...

    Store owner replied: Hello Swann. Thank you for your review of Eden Brothers. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Your feedback helps us improve our products and growing information. Cosmos can sometimes struggle to bloom in hot climates, especially with high heat or overly rich soil, which can lead to more foliage than flowers. We previously reached out by email with a resolution offer and want to ensure you have every opportunity to follow up. Please don’t hesitate to contact us at 855-440-2929 (M–F, 9am–5pm ET) or service@edenbrothers.com, as we’d be glad to assist you with this!

    I ended up planting the seedlings late in the growing season for zone 5 but I had beautiful flowers at the end. I’m going to buy and grow them again only earlier.

    Cosmos Seeds - Apollo Lovesong

    Perfect cosmos for containers. They are a lovely pink and white color. They are the more compact variety of cosmos and are very lovely at my front porch having many blooms by August. Wish I could post a picture but not sure how to on here.
