Lightly press seeds into the soil; they need light to germinate. Keep the soil moist until seedlings emerge, which typically takes 7-21 days at 70-75°F. Once seedlings are a few inches tall, thin them to 12-18 inches apart to allow good air circulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCosmos thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Water regularly during dry spells, but avoid overwatering as plants are susceptible to root rot. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming. Tall varieties may benefit from staking in windy areas. Picotee Cosmos is generally pest-free and deer-resistant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e200 Picotee Cosmos seeds (Cosmos bipinnatus) for planting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67776219087158,"sku":"FOLIA-419","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7314726913_eucw.jpg?v=1792468388","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/200-picotee-cosmos-seeds-white-flowers-with-pink-edges","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
