Lightly press seeds into the soil surface and keep them moist until germination, which typically occurs in 7–21 days at 70–75°F. Once seedlings are a few inches tall, thin them to stand 12–18 inches apart to encourage good air circulation and bushy growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCosmos performs best in full sun and average, well-drained soil; avoid over-fertilizing, which can promote lush foliage at the expense of flowers. Water regularly during establishment, then allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Deadhead spent blooms to prolong flowering, and stake tall plants in windy areas if needed. At season's end, allow a few flower heads to mature and self-sow for next year's garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e200 Lemonade Cosmos seeds for planting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67776233341238,"sku":"FOLIA-442","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7311661071_qyhb.jpg?v=1792468442","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/200-lemonade-cosmos-seeds-soft-yellow-pollinator-friendly-garden-flower","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
