If you have to many plants growing in one spot that you planted from seeds, can some of the new seedlings be transplanted to another location? Thank you
Disturbing or damaging roots will slow down growth until the plant recovers and could be fatal. The answer depends on how close the seedlings are and how big they are. The closer and bigger, the more entangled the roots will be. If you want to take the risk, on a cloudy day dig up the entire clump and move to where it is shaded. If the roots don't easily separate, abandon the attempt. And don't try to get every last one separate; it is just too risky. Seedlings that were separated off need to go back into pots and pampered until they show signs of growth. Keep them out of the sun. Because of the time needed to recover from root damage, you may find starting again from seed produces a mature plant almost as quickly.
can cosmos plants be kept from year to year? any tips about pruning for the winter or can they not be kept. evelyn
The plants themselves will not winter over, but Cosmos reseeds itself easily.
You can also save the seeds and start new plants in the spring. If the seeds were hybrids they will not likely be the same as the parent plant.

I have 5 cosmos very good plants but have no flowers can you help Thank you
Many times this is an issue with too much nitrogen, and not enough potassium in the soil. You can offset this by adding fertilizers high in these, with little or no nitrogen. This should correct the issue. This article will help you with the care of these: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/cosmos/growing-cosmos.htm
I have some very tall Cosmos plants. Is it likely they might still flower?
Rich garden soil and fertilizer use may delay blooming and encourage excessive leafy growth. There is time left for them to bloom and set seed if first frost isn't before October.
The plants are in an enclosed garden west facing , evening sun.
I'm not familiar enough with the climate in your country to be able to tell you whether they will continue or not. I can't seem to find much information on who runs the Agriculture in your area, but I can give you information on growing the plant in question.

It can. Usually, it will start to die out, though. This annual will self seed, so it will probably show up again next year. For now, you can enjoy its final stages of life and wait for next year's arrivals.

I want to know if it’s going to flower again or what should I do for it?
No, it will likely start its die out process, once it expends all of its energy. This is normal. They are annuals and will die, but self seed. You should expect to see more replace it next year.
For now, you can just enjoy its last growth efforts until its death.
