Where can you purchase cotton seeds?
We do not usually recommend places to purchase seed. I would recommend going to local nurseries, and checking online for seed. This will be your best option.
I live in Orlando, Fl... I had some cotton seeds from a neighbor in our subdivision.. how do I get some cotton seeds, today.. since we have moved? Where do I get them from so I can show my grandkids about cotton.. I can't find any cotton seeds for sale on the internet.. they all show how to grow it.. I want to buy some seeds to plant and grow.. it. Could you give me some places where I can get some ???
Try Ebay and Etsy, they are often sources for hard to find seeds.
I bought cotton plant seeds and was wondering if they will come back next year?
No, it will not return in your climate. Cotton is a tropical perennial and will not survive temperatures below 60 degrees F.
cotton is a sap feeder and so sacs of fluid come out of the plant leaving the plant turgid.
