Planting & Care

Sow Sulphur Orange Cosmos seeds directly outdoors after the last frost date, as they resent transplanting. Scatter seeds over prepared soil and lightly cover with 1/4 inch of soil, then keep evenly moist until germination, which typically occurs in 7-21 days at 70-75°F. Once seedlings are a few inches tall, thin them to stand 12-18 inches apart to allow good air circulation.

These cosmos are relatively carefree once established. Water moderately during dry spells, but avoid overwatering as they prefer well-drained soil. Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage continued blooming, or leave some seed heads to self-sow for next year. Taller plants may benefit from staking in windy areas.
