Growing flowers from seed

An update on my post above regarding cosmos. Much to my surprise, I’ve just noticed lots of little cosmos plants have returned so they must have seeded themselves.I was so happy to discover them in amongst some other annuals that were recently planted.

Off now to buy my seeds💐

I planted cosmos last year and they were just lovely, flowered well into October. Does anyone know if they seed themselves and will come back in the spring or do I have to start over and plant new seeds?Thank you

They are annuals, sow them every year - they are great.

Last year I had a lot of self sown marigolds (common or garden, not African) springing up - there are still a few flowers out even now!
So for something easy and hardy, I’d certainly recommend scattering some of those seeds in a suitable spot. The bed where mine have flourished gets quite a bit of sun, but does tend to be very dry (not at the moment of course, after all the rain!)

Just spotted your post loopyloo.

I am very fond of Cosmos because of all the beautiful colours and the fact they flower for so long, into the first frosts. I always bought a new packet every year but after looking at mr google I saved this years seeds in a paper bag and will plant these next year.

This year I sowed Cosmos. Rather late in the year but excellent result .
Beautiful white flowers.
Even if you grow one thing it's fascinating.

I'm not great at gardening but I love seeing cuttings take, I take cuttings and pass them on when rooted and established, keep some myself but its almost an obsession I take more than I can use.
Havnt been lucky with seeds unless its marigolds or foxgloves that I throw back in the ground.
Still get tempted by the packets and give it a go
