Planting & Care
Sow Antiquity Cosmos seeds directly outdoors after the last frost, or start indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost date. Press seeds lightly into the soil and keep moist until germination. Thin seedlings to the recommended spacing. These plants thrive in full sun and well-drained soil; avoid over-fertilizing, as rich soil can reduce flowering. Water regularly during dry spells, but allow soil to dry slightly between waterings.
Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. Tall varieties may benefit from staking in windy areas. Antiquity Cosmos is generally pest-resistant and deer-resistant, making it a low-maintenance choice for sunny gardens.
