My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Anyone grow Cosmos in a container?

10 months ago

I'm thinking of maybe growing Cosmos in a big container this year. I'd have to get a dwarf variety, Apollo looks nice in the pictures and is 18-26" in the description. How do Cosmos do in containers? Do they tend to get weedy or sprawly? Floppy?
