Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

No special preparation required. Seeds can be directly sown into the garden.

Sowing:

Sow seeds directly in the garden after the last frost date.
Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep in well-drained soil.
Space seeds 12-18 inches apart to allow for mature plant growth.

Germination:

Keep the soil consistently moist until seedlings emerge.
Germination typically occurs within 7-10 days.
Ideal soil temperature for germination is between 70-75°F (21-24°C).

Transplanting:

If starting seeds indoors, sow seeds 4-6 weeks before the last frost date.
Harden off seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over 7-10 days.
Transplant seedlings to the garden after the danger of frost has passed, spacing them 12-18 inches apart.

Care and Maintenance:

Water regularly but do not overwater; cosmos are drought-tolerant once established.
Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming.
Stake tall plants if necessary to prevent them from flopping over.
Mulch around the plants to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.

Happy Gardening!
