Hardly anyone has a bad word to say about cosmos; most sources indicate that they just keep on coming. As lovely as they are, Cosmos are sometimes described as a weeds because it heavily self-seeds. Well, sometimes even weeds fail to thrive. Speaking of weeds, control of them during cosmos germination time is critical to the flower's survival.
Cosmos seed germination is reduced when temps are above 80°F or below 65°F, so maybe many of the seeds did not make it through the winter. Or it was too hot during optimal germination time.
Another thought: Cosmos needs no fertilizer; in fact, it prefers ordinary to poor soil. In fact, too-rich soil can result in weak stems. Save the good soil and fertilizer for other plants!
Cosmos likes full sun—at least 8 hours per day of intense light.

Enjoy !! (next year)
