I would love to trade for your Clianthus puniceus Pink Flamingo,Cosmos Double Click, Cosmos Pink Popsicle, Petunia dolcissima Amaretto, Petunia dolcissima Roma. Please check out my tradelist. I have fresh camellia tea sinensis.

I have a lot of orange cosmo seeds that I saved from last year's plants, but I didn't need to plant a single one this year because they reseeded themselves. So if anyone wants some let me know, and please check my trade list to see if there's anything else you would like. I'll take just about anything that I don't already have. :) Happy Gardening!

I am assuming these cosmos seedlings are growing inside, right? Since it's Nebraska we are talking about. ;) Cosmos are fast growers - super fast. Thus best direct seeded or started inside only shortly before set-out date. It sounds like you have leggy seedlings (weak stemmed and too tall) - common when started inside and without sufficient light. If they cannot be planted outside soon then you need to pinch them back some (snip them down 1/2 way to just above a V-leaf juncture) and transplant them to new, deeper containers. Plant them deeply to just below the first set of leaves. Then get them as much supplemental light as possible. Hope this helps. ;) Dave
