cosmos stubbornly refuses to bloom
I haven't planted cosmos in several years. I planted the dwarf variety 3
years ago, and have just enjoyed the chance reseeding (the dwarf variety seems to reseed a bit less prolifically than the taller varieties). This year, I have many plants of various sizes, from 6 inches to about 2 feet tall, all of which have been blooming for the past month or more - however, I have one plant which has a huge healthy central stalk, numerous strong healthy branches, and not only no flowers, but not a single flower bud. It is about 2 1/2 feet tall by now, less than a foot from other cosmos which have been blooming for weeks. I would say that the central stalk on the non-blooming cosmos is nearing 2 inches in diameter, and is practically becoming woody. Since we sometimes have a killing frost in mid-September, I'm starting to think that I won't see a single flower off that plant. Has anyone else had that kind of a cosmos experience? |
