    Customer photo review of Cosmos Seeds - Picotee

    Finally got around to planting some of these and they’re doing wonderfully! The flowers produced by the seeds match the description. I can’t wait for them to settle in and grow more.

    I’ve have the most difficult time not only with these cosmos but others! They don’t germinate well and don’t thrive, start up farmer and I’ve done alot of gardening! I’m not buying cosmos from them. Zinnias did great

    Store owner replied: Hello Jess. Thank you for your review of Eden Brothers! We greatly appreciate you bringing this to our attention. It's so important to have feedback like this so we can continually improve our products and planting instructions. Compared to zinnias, cosmos are a bit more sensitive to these early-season conditions, which may explain why germination was poor even though the zinnias did well, in your cooler area. After speaking with our Customer Service Team, it seems we were able to assist you with this. Thanks for your time in sharing your experience with us!
