Planting & Care
Sow cosmos seeds directly outdoors after the last frost date, or start them indoors a few weeks earlier for a head start. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface and keep the area evenly moist until germination. Cosmos generally germinates best in warm soil with plenty of light.
Once seedlings are established, thin them to the recommended spacing to encourage healthy branching and abundant blooms. Water regularly during establishment, then allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Deadheading spent flowers encourages continued blooming through the season.
