Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before you sow.

What does cotton look like before bolls form?

It develops branching stems with lobed green leaves and pale flowers before characteristic cotton bolls appear.

What happens to cotton flowers after pollination?

Flowers fade and the fruit capsule enlarges, eventually forming a cotton boll as seeds and fibers mature.

Can cotton be grown as an ornamental plant?

Yes. Lobed foliage, flowers, and later cotton bolls can provide seasonal interest in warm conditions.

How can mature cotton bolls be displayed?

Allow bolls to open naturally on the plant, revealing the fibers surrounding the seeds.

Does cotton need a long warm season?

Yes. Cotton is a warm-season crop and needs sustained warmth and sunlight for strong growth.

Can cotton be grown in a container?

Young plants can be grown in large containers when warmth, sunlight, root space, and a long season are available.
