Planting Instructions:
Seed Preparation:
No special preparation is required. Cosmos seeds can be sown directly without any treatment.
Sowing:
Sow seeds outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and soil temperatures have warmed to at least 60°F (16°C). Choose a location with full sun exposure. Scatter seeds over the soil surface or sow them ¼ inch deep. Space seeds 12-18 inches apart to allow for ample growth.
Germination:
Seeds typically germinate within 7-14 days. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the germination period.
Transplanting:
Cosmos plants do not transplant well due to their long taproot. It's best to sow them directly in the desired growing location.
Care and Maintenance:
Watering: Water newly planted seeds regularly to keep the soil consistently moist until they establish. Once established, cosmos are drought-tolerant and only require occasional watering during dry periods. Mulching: Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Deadheading: Remove spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and prevent self-seeding. This will also prolong the flowering season.
