These cheerful, daisy-like flowers rise on tall, slender stems above finely cut, feathery foliage, bringing a light and airy texture to garden beds and borders. Cosmos is a favorite for cut flower gardens, cottage-style plantings, and pollinator-friendly landscapes, where its open blooms attract bees and butterflies throughout the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEasy to grow from seed, Psyche Mix Cosmos performs best in full sun and tolerates poor to average soil. The plants bloom over a long period from summer into fall, especially when spent flowers are removed. With their graceful form and abundant color, these cosmos make an excellent choice for mass plantings, wildflower areas, and fresh or dried floral arrangements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlant Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSemi-double blooms in a mix of white, pink, and red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTall, slender stems with finely cut, feathery foliage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLong bloom season from summer into fall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttracts bees and butterflies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent for cut flowers and cottage garden plantings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cosmos bipinnatus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Annual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSunlight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Average to poor, well-drained soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate; drought tolerant once established\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright, branching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Summer to fall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 36-48 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12-18 inches apart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlanting \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSow Psyche Mix Cosmos seeds directly outdoors after the last frost date, or start them indoors 4-6 weeks before transplanting. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface and keep them moist until germination, which typically occurs in 7-21 days at 70-75°F (21-24°C). Thin seedlings to stand 12-18 inches apart. These plants prefer full sun and well-drained soil; avoid over-fertilizing, as rich soil can encourage excessive foliage at the expense of flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater regularly during dry spells, but allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Deadhead spent blooms to prolong flowering and keep plants tidy. Tall varieties may benefit from staking in windy locations. Cosmos generally has few pest problems and is a low-maintenance choice for sunny gardens.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e200 Psyche Mix Cosmos seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67776231768374,"sku":"FOLIA-439","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7264389820_g4xw.jpg?v=1792468439","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/200-psyche-mix-cosmos-seeds-white-pink-red-semi-double-blooms","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
