200 Polidor Mix Cosmos Seeds - Orange, Red & Yellow Garden Flowers
Polidor Mix Cosmos brings a warm, sunset-toned palette to the summer garden with blooms in shades of orange, red, and yellow. These cheerful, daisy-like flowers rise on slender stems above fine, feathery foliage, creating a light and airy texture that blends beautifully into cottage gardens, meadow plantings, and mixed flower borders. Cosmos is a favorite among gardeners for its long bloom season and its ability to attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies.
This mix is well suited to cut flower gardens, wildflower areas, and informal beds where its relaxed, natural form can shine. The abundant blooms appear over an extended period through the warmer months, providing steady color and interest. With 200 seeds, this packet offers plenty of material for direct sowing across multiple garden spaces or for succession planting through the season.

Planting & Care
Cosmos is typically direct sown outdoors after the last frost date, once the soil has warmed. Scatter or sow seeds lightly and cover with a thin layer of soil, keeping the area evenly moist until germination. Thin seedlings so plants have room to develop strong stems and good airflow. Cosmos generally performs best in full sun and average, well-drained soil; overly rich soil can encourage leafy growth at the expense of flowers.
Water regularly during establishment, then reduce watering as plants settle in, as cosmos tolerates moderately dry conditions. Deadheading spent blooms encourages continued flowering through the season. Taller stems may benefit from light staking in windy or exposed locations.
