Growing flowers from seed

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
