Planting Instructions:
Seed Preparation:
No special preparation required. However, you can soak seeds in warm water for a few hours before planting to soften the seed coat and potentially speed up germination.
Sowing:
Direct sow seeds outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and soil temperature is at least 60°F (16°C). Scatter seeds over prepared soil and lightly press them into the soil surface, as they require light to germinate. Space seeds 6-12 inches apart in rows or clusters, depending on your desired planting arrangement.
Germination:
Seeds typically germinate within 7-14 days under optimal conditions. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the germination period.
Transplanting:
While cosmos seeds can be started indoors, they are best sown directly into the garden. If starting indoors, sow seeds in biodegradable pots 4-6 weeks before the last frost date. Transplant seedlings outdoors after the last frost, spacing them 12-18 inches apart.
Care and Maintenance:
Watering: Cosmos plants are drought-tolerant once established but benefit from regular watering during dry spells. Water at the base of the plants to avoid wetting the foliage. Deadheading: Remove spent flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming. Support: While cosmos plants are generally sturdy, tall varieties may benefit from staking in windy conditions.
Gardening is the art that uses flowers and plants as paint, and the soil and sky as canvas.
