Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

No special preparation needed; cosmos seeds are easy to plant and grow.

Sowing:

Sow seeds directly outdoors after the last frost, or start indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost date.
Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep in the soil.
Space seeds 12-18 inches apart to allow for proper growth and air circulation.

Germination:

Keep the soil lightly moist until germination.
Maintain a temperature of 70-75°F (21-24°C) for optimal germination.
Germination typically occurs within 7-14 days.

Transplanting:

If started indoors, 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.
Space plants 12-18 inches apart in well-drained soil.

Care and Maintenance:

Water regularly, especially during dry periods, but avoid overwatering.
Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and prevent self-seeding.
Support taller plants with stakes if necessary to prevent them from falling over in windy conditions.

Happy Gardening!
