About This Item
Cosmos is one of the easiest flower seeds to grow. Just direct sow in early spring after the danger of frost has passed. Seedlings are not winter hardy. Sow in full sun or very light shade to get the most out of your Cosmos seed. Prefers well drained soils so avoid heavy clay areas.
This cosmos is a 3 - 4 foot tall annual growing in USDA zones 3 - 10.
You do not need to fertilize cosmos. Rich, fertile soils tend to produce unusually tall, lanky plants with few blooms which causes the plants to become top heavy and fall over. Cosmos can be a great cut flower with a vase life of 5 - 7 days. Harvest the blooms in the early morning hours, and select stems with flowers that have just opened.
Remove the leaves below the water line. Cosmos Mexican Asters are generally trouble free, seldom falling prey to disease or insects, and they do not mind being crowded.
Sowing Rate: 6 seeds per plant. Scatter Cosmos seeds in the spring once frost danger has passed onto prepared, weed-free soil. Lightly cover the seeds with soil and keep moist. From flower seeds, blooms typically appear in 10 - 12 weeks.
