Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

No special preparation is needed. Seeds can be sown directly into the soil.

Sowing:

Indoor Sowing:

Sow seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last expected frost date.

Use a seed-starting mix and sow the seeds about 1/4 inch deep.

Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged.

Outdoor Sowing:

Sow seeds directly into the garden after the last frost when the soil has warmed up.

Plant seeds about 1/4 inch deep and space them 12-18 inches apart.

Germination:

Seeds typically germinate in 7-10 days.

Maintain a temperature of 70-75°F (21-24°C) for optimal germination.

Transplanting:

Transplant seedlings outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed.

Harden off seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over a period of 7-10 days before transplanting.

Care and Maintenance:

Watering      : Water regularly but allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Cosmos plants are drought-tolerant once established.

Support       : Tall varieties may need staking to prevent them from toppling over.

Deadheading    : Remove spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming.
