'Mark',

The seeds will produce identical plants in every respect. They should be
grown outdoors about 2' apart as their spread is at least 2' and they
are at least 2' tall.

I wish you luck.

Thanks. I don't know how it got in the greenhouse - I've never bought
the
seed, it just appeared. I think I will save the seed from it when it
sets
seed and plant it next year. Is it a hybrid - ie will it produce
similar
plants from seed I collect?

Thanks.

I think your variety is Cosmos Sonata Mixed.

Sensation Mixed is too tall for my liking.

I sow the seed in early April and mine are still flowering outdoors.

As you can see there are four colours, but you have to take your
chance
as to which is which if you buy the seed.

You should be able to obtain good seeds in those conditions.
