Anyone tried Cosmos Xanthos?

I have been given seeds of C. Xanthos, the pale yellow one. In your experience is it as easy as the pink varieties? I have not had success with the yellow and orange ones before, I think they need it hotter than my garden.

 

I’ve grown it in the past. Found it easy to grow and I’m not an attentive seed grower. Very pretty and good flowering. Lovely colour too.

Like you, I’ve struggled (and usually failed) with the orange ones. Frustrating as I love the zingy colours. But Xanthos was great. I haven’t grown it for a few years but only because it’s very compact so would be lost in my borders. Having being reminded about it, as may have to get some to grow for my pots. I tried Cosmos Kiiro last year, very disappointing as it was more of a mucky white than pale yellow. Xanthos had a lovely clear tone and was definitely (pale) yellow

 

I grew Cosmos Xanthos last year and was pleased with it. I'm useless at growing seeds usually so I was happy.

 

Thank you guys, that's great. I shall be getting out the seed trays soon. Happy days!
