Planting and Care Instructions

Seed Preparation and Sowing

• Direct Sowing (Recommended for Outdoor Planting):

  • Sow seeds after the last frost in well-prepared garden soil.
  • Scatter seeds lightly on the soil surface and press gently—do not bury deeply.
  • Water gently and keep soil moist until germination (typically 7-14 days).

• Starting Indoors (For Earlier Blooms):

  • Begin 4-6 weeks before the last frost in seed trays with a light, well-draining soil mix.
  • Keep in a warm, bright location with temperatures around 65-75°F.
  • Transplant seedlings outdoors once temperatures remain stable.

Maintenance

• Watering: Water moderately; avoid overwatering as Cosmos thrives in drier soil.
• Fertilization: Minimal feeding required; too much fertilizer can reduce flowering.
• Deadheading: Remove spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering.
• Support: Taller varieties may need light staking in windy areas.

Ideal For

• Wildflower gardens and pollinator-friendly landscapes
