Press seeds lightly into the soil surface and keep moist until germination, which typically occurs in 7-21 days at 70-75°F. Thin seedlings to stand 12-18 inches apart. Cosmos prefers full sun and well-drained soil; avoid over-fertilizing, as rich soil can produce lush foliage with fewer flowers. Water regularly during dry spells, but allow soil to dry slightly between waterings. Tall plants may benefit from staking in windy areas. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e200 Candystripe Cosmos seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67795505611062,"sku":"FOLIA2-112","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7288213907_3bir.jpg?v=1792670750","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/200-candystripe-cosmos-seeds-pink-white-bicolor-cosmos-bipinnatus-garden-flowers","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
