The predicted height of plants in seed catologs
I wonder if the same thing happens to you guys. Nothing I planted last Spring came out what was on the seed descriptions. My o'clock were 4' and 5' tall rather than the 2' on the seed package. I had cosmos get 7' tall, even the white sonata cosmos were nearly 5'. They were beautiful but got so ugly when they started flopping over each other. I will plant them again because they were very pretty but somewhere close to a fence or trellis so I will have a place to tie them upright. Any other plants I should know get bigger in Texas? I'm in New Caney - north of Houston. Thanks -- Rhonda Smith |

The predicted height of plants in seed catologs
One of the reasons this happens, particularly in Texas is that, we have two
short growing seasons, vs. one very long one. Most every plant will have the opportunity to grow larger in Texas if it like heat and drought.
