| I have cosmos that reseeded themself this year and I had cosmos from h____. They were 48" tall and thick. I pulled them all out and I'm sure thousands of seeds are in the soil. I want to put some winter flowers in now and wonder how to keep the cosmos from germinating. Is there a certain preemergent that will work? Thanks for any help on this. Betsy. |

| If the flowers you are going to plant are not being grown from seed, you can use a pre-emergent. You will still get some seedlings, but only a small percentage. Al |

| Next time, it's easier to deadhead than deal with tons of seedlings you don't want (or chemicals.) |

| The weather here in CA is very warm, no hot, right now so there are hundreds of little cosmos coming up already. I am pulling each one out by hand. Then a pre-emergent. Thanks. |
