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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater 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.
