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 12-18 inches apart to allow good air circulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese cosmos are low-maintenance and thrive in full sun with minimal watering. Avoid over-fertilizing, as rich soil can lead to excessive foliage and fewer blooms. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming, or leave some seed heads to self-sow for next year. Taller varieties may benefit from staking in windy areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e200 Sulphur Yellow Cosmos seeds (Cosmos sulphureus).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67776219676982,"sku":"FOLIA-420","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7266757744_l0us.jpg?v=1792468390","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/200-sulphur-yellow-cosmos-seeds-cosmos-sulphureus-pollinator-friendly","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
