200 Rubies Sunshine Mix Cosmos Seeds - Red Yellow Pink Garden Blooms
Rubies Sunshine Mix Cosmos is a cheerful annual wildflower blend that brings a lively mix of red, yellow, and pink blooms to sunny garden beds, borders, and cutting gardens. The daisy-like flowers rise on slender stems above finely cut, airy foliage, creating a relaxed, cottage-garden look that attracts pollinators and adds weeks of color through the growing season.
This easy-to-grow cosmos mix is a favorite for meadow plantings, pollinator gardens, and cut flower arrangements. Plants tolerate poor soil and dry conditions once established, making them a practical choice for low-maintenance landscapes and beginning gardeners.

Planting & Care
Sow cosmos seeds directly outdoors after the last frost date, or start them indoors 4 to 6 weeks before transplanting. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface and keep them moist until germination; cosmos seeds need light to germinate, so do not cover them deeply. Thin seedlings to the recommended spacing once they are a few inches tall.
Water young plants regularly during establishment, then reduce watering as plants mature. Cosmos performs best in full sun and lean soil; avoid over-fertilizing, which can encourage excess foliage at the expense of flowers. Deadhead spent blooms to prolong flowering and support continued color through the season.
