Wondering if anyone does cosmos for their flowers every year mine seemed to grow like gang busters last year but didn’t put on much of a flower display they got like 6-7 feet tall and 1-1/2 inch stalks on them was wondering if they prefer crappier soils it could of been to rich for them thoughts?

I have not grown cosmos for a few years, but you are right that they prefer crappy soil.
They also benefit from aggressive deadheading, once they start to flower.
Maybe I should grow them again this summer. Hmmm.

Well good then no more cosmos in my supersoil mix then! I leave that for the more important plants then, I’ll probably continue to use as cover plants then along with some nice thick vines this year

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?
