Mr Fothergill’s Seed Trial – Cosmos – Double Dutch White – Update

As you know, I’ve been trialing the Double Dutch White Cosmos seeds for Mr. Fothergill’s. They were sown a while ago now and have had a fantastic germination rate, I reckon about 95%, which is really good for any packet of seeds. They have grown strong and true, with only a couple with bendy stems. Only one plant was weak, compared to the others, but I’ve planted it anyway.

As you can see, the local neighbourhood cat came to investigate as I was planting the seeds out. They have all been planted into my flower bed and I will be diligently watering them two or three times a day for the next week as it has been very hot and dry here. Once they are established, I can relax the watering and they should see a burst of growth over the next couple of weeks as they build a strong root system and expand into the ground.

I’m really looking forward to these flowering. So far, I am very impressed with the quality of the seeds and how easy they are to grow.
