Press seeds lightly into the soil surface and keep moist until germination; light aids germination, so do not cover deeply. Thin or space seedlings 12–18 inches apart to encourage good air circulation. Water regularly during establishment, then allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Deadhead spent blooms to prolong flowering and prevent unwanted self-seeding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e100 Picotee Cosmos seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67862006300982,"sku":"FSG-090","price":11.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7677569327_3x4v.jpg?v=1793267613","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/100-picotee-cosmos-seeds-pink-white-flowers-pollinator-friendly","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
