If I may be so bold as to suggest zinnias in your soil.
They will thrive and give you lots of puffy, colorful flowers
They are very easy and fun.

Yea man, I like zinnias, Have you tried any of the dwarf varieties like Thumbalina?
Salivias should do well in your soil. They are easy and smell good!!!

I haven’t tried the dwarf variations sounds interesting salvias yes have them in the front flower bed they seem very hardy as well they loose there color I usually cut them back down to the foliage and always give me another show before fall!

Nicotiana would work. It is the most aromatic plant I have ever grown.
On a breeze-less evening, while enjoying a nice bowl outdoors, the exotic smell
of the nicotiana flowers provides added intoxication,

I’v always wanted to try that, every year we sight see at the CSU trial flower garden I always say to myself that would be a good one to put in the landscape!

I’ll have to second that, on the Cosmos…& general any “wildflower” will run from fertilizer 
…even prevent germination, ime.
Consider saving some of all those for trading(?) 
I’ll get my trading stuff up tomorrow; started my sunflowers, tom’s & peppers.

@cannabissequoia is there a thread that was started for just veggie/flower seed trading or are they all just lumped into one thread?

Hmmm don’t recall seeing this plant last year! Look sort of like an Echinacea to me will let it get bigger then we’ll decide whether to keep it chop!

@Meesh was wondering if you could help here! Lol Are these sunflowers seedlings? Seem to be in the same spot of last years plants ! I love it when plants reseed themselves and make for pretty flowers a second time around!

They sure do look like it! Mine had those longer sharper leaves like that when they started then they got pretty big and round. Awesome! Less stuff to plant and an earlier start!
