I’m Growing 18 Cosmos Varieties – Let’s See Which Are Worth It // Cottoverdi

This year I’m growing 18 different cosmos varieties to see how they perform side by side in the garden. Some of these I’ve grown before and already love, while others are completely new to me —including one unusual hardy perennial cosmos. I thought it would be interesting to grow them all together and compare their colour, form and overall performance through the season. In this video, I’m sowing all 18 varieties and showing how I care for them at this early stage. Later in the summer, I’ll share how they look in the garden and which ones I think are really worth growing.
