Pinching out Cosmos will give you a bushier sturdy plant with more flowers. In my video this week I show you how to do this and what stage my cosmos plants are at in June.

I came across your channel today. What a joy it is to listen to your tips for growing cosmos. This Fall, I plan to start cool plants by seed. I'm in Zone 8 in the USA. I'm going to start out with Cosmos, Larkspur, Love in a mist, and Snapdragons by seed and see how it goes. It's probably too late in the season to start, so I'm going to work my soil and maybe direct sow my seeds this fall. Our winters Zone 8 in South Carolina are not very harsh, so maybe I'll try direct sowing this fall, so by spring, hopefully I'll have a nice spread of cut flowers.
@cloudberryflowers-flowerfarm
Hello and thanks so much for watching 😊 Those flowers sound like a lovely starting point for next season. It is pretty late now to get any flowers from seed unless it was things like the procut sunflowers so you are right it is worth waiting until fall and then starting some hardy cool flowers off then. I have a couple of videos on my channel about fall plantings of cool flowers if that is helpful. The only ones I wouldn’t start off from seed in fall are the cosmos as they won’t get through the winter. Good luck with getting some lovely flowers next spring/summer.

@@cloudberryflowers-flowerfarm O Dear! Did I do it to early? I tought I'm late... Do you know how long it takes for them to bloom? Maybe I'll sow couple of more in April... I've got two different seed packages, one is a mix of white and pink, the other all light pink with fluffy petals... Some (from the first mix) germinated and I've noticed that most of the stems are light only few are reddish-does it mean they are going to be pink? Or it has got nothing to do with the colour of the flowers? Thank you for your reply! You've got lovely farm over there👍🏻💕🌺🌷

@cloudberryflowers-flowerfarm 2 года назад
@@arli4406 it takes about 12-14 weeks for my cosmos to flower depending on the weather. They germinate and grow very fast so can get a bit leggy if planted early and still can’t plant them outside because it’s too cold. So not too early if you can keep them frost free and enough light to not go leggy. But I would always start mine in April to reduce this happening for me x

Thanks for all the helpful videos about growing flowers! I’m new to growing flowers and I love cosmos. Can I ask how and why you set up the plastic trellis the way you do for the flowers?
@cloudberryflowers-flowerfarm
Hello, thanks so much for watching 😊 Cosmos are lovely! The plastic trellis is the support I have for the plants. We live in quite an exposed spot and it can get windy so the cosmos stems can snap easily. The support netting laid horizontally for the plants to grow through gives them support to stay upright no matter what the weather. I just hammer in tree stakes at approx 2 metre intervals down the bed and lay the pea and bean netting over stretched quite tight to provide a framework to grow through. I have a video on my channel about support netting for a bit more info x

Thanks you, I will do this to my Cosmos! Can we start new plant with cosmos cutting? Like the snapdragon?
@cloudberryflowers-flowerfarm
@cloudberryflowers-flowerfarm 3 года назад
Thanks for watching! Yes you can take cuttings from cosmos to start new plants. I probably wouldn’t pinch the cuttings out at this stage in the year as pinching out stalls the flowering by a couple of weeks and by the time the cuttings took you would be well into the growing season and wanting to get flowers before the frosts came.

Hello, Foxgloves are flowers that I have never grown as a cut flower as the demand for them hasn’t been there locally from florists and I haven’t done large enough display arrangements to use them myself. I tend to have a few self seeded ones in the garden that I can use if I have the odd request for them but have never pinched them out x

Maybe a silly question - I bought a chocolate cosmos plant that is quite lanky and already has one flower. Would I be able to pinch it at this stage to make it stronger and branch for more blooms? Thank you for the informative video!
@cloudberryflowers-flowerfarm
@cloudberryflowers-flowerfarm 2 года назад
Yes you could as chocolate cosmos is a cut and come again variety and pinching should help it bulk out and become sturdier. I love chocolate cosmos but unfortunately have never been able to get them through the winter here so have to treat it as an annual. Thanks for watching.

The video is very helpful, thank you so much! I have had planted cosmos this spring and now at the end of August there are many growing and some of them have grown huge! However there has been only 1 or 2 flowers in all that area! I thought of cutting it, and I did cut them a few days ago, in hopes it will promote flowers. Did not cut them too much though. My questions are will new flowers apper on stems that have never had any flowers on them? Will cutting help? Is it too late to obtain a lot of flowers? My climate is mediterranean so warm weather usually continues well into autumn. So maybe there is hope for more flowers? Thanks again!
@cloudberryflowers-flowerfarm
@cloudberryflowers-flowerfarm 10 месяцев назад
Hello thanks so much for watching my cosmos video. You sound like you have some really great growing cosmos. Sometimes if the soil is very rich or you have fed the cosmos? It results in a lot of leafy growth and few flowers. Could this be the problem? Cutting it back will promote the plant to produce new stems but again whether just lots of green stems or flowers could depend on the soil. It sounds as though with your climate there is time enough yet for flowers so I will keep my fingers crossed for you.

@velvet3784 10 месяцев назад
​@@cloudberryflowers-flowerfarmThank you very much for reply and it is possible that soil has something to do with it although I did not add any fertiliser, however maybe someone added it before planting.

I am glad I saved some seeds for the next year and I will choose the position more wisely! Thank you again for reply! It is really helpful!

I am in Florida and decided to begin Cosmos from seed in pots. When they got about 12 inches tall after pinching I decided to put them into the ground. Meanwhile a couple days later I noticed two of the 6 plants were cut off by 8 inches, decapitated and leafless. Next thing you know all of them day after day were victim to the same thing. Chopped off and only a stem 5 inches remains. What do you think could have done this and do you think they will grow back?
@cloudberryflowers-flowerfarm
Oh no that’s so disheartening when you have spent your time growing them on so well. Here if that happened I would be thinking rabbits as they have done similar to mine in the past before our fencing went up. Could it be something similar in your garden in Florida? If they have left any sets of leaves then yes they could grow back but if they have sheared off all the leaves and just left the stem I don’t think they would. I hope you have some survivors.

@@cloudberryflowers-flowerfarm Thank you kindly. They look like they are not gonna make it through. I have 6 foot fences so no rabbits for sure in the backyard. I forgot to mention the weird part. The day I noticed them chopped I did not see any remains hanging around, "Stems, leaves etc. Then a few days after that I noticed laying near the crime scene lays the stems. Something brought them back and played them near the stems coming out of the ground. Weird right? Yea I know. From morning until sundown the only animals we see in the backyard are squirrels and birds.

A couple of questions. 1) can the cutting be propagated? 2) the seeds have been grown in a pot and have randomly sprouted. They are not evenly spaced. Should I do some thinning or leave them as they are?
@cloudberryflowers-flowerfarm
@cloudberryflowers-flowerfarm 3 месяца назад
Hello, thanks so much for watching. Yes you should be able to take stem cuttings from the cosmos for propagation. Cosmos can grow fairly quickly so if they have randomly sprouted and some are close together I would thin them to prevent competition for light and nutrients.
