Cosmos Seed Mix
Cosmos Seed Mix
A variety of cosmos in pinks and white. A must have annual in the garden. Light and airy flowers are friends to many insects. Can self seed in the garden and return next year. Pinching off the tip of the plant will allow it to produce more blooms.
Annual
Will flower more in poor soil, very drought tolerant
Germinaton: Easy
Full Sun
Sow seeds very shallowly only a few millimetres (1/8″) deep. Thin or transplant to 20-25cm (8-10″) apart.
Direct sow after the last frost date. Several sowings will result in a very long bloom period. Cosmos can also be started indoors in late winter for transplanting after last frost, once daytime temperatures are above 10°C (50°F). Seeds will sprout in 3-10 days. Optimal temperature for germination: 21-25°C (70-75°F).
Most varieties can get quite tall, and in exposed or windy gardens can benefit from staking or trellis netting laid horizontally over the bed for the stems to grow through before blooming. Deadhead and cut for bouquets regularly to extend the bloom period.
Approx. over 40 seeds per pack
