200 Wild Sensation Cosmos Seeds - Colorful Wildflower Blend for Planting

Wild Sensation Cosmos is a colorful wildflower blend of cosmos that brings a relaxed, meadow-style look to gardens, borders, and naturalized areas. These easygoing annuals produce airy, daisy-like blooms in a cheerful mix of colors atop fine, ferny foliage that sways gently in the breeze. The open flowers are a favorite landing spot for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, making this blend a useful choice for pollinator gardens and cut-flower patches.

Cosmos is valued for its fast growth, light texture, and long bloom window, filling sunny spaces with color from summer into fall. It works well in wildflower meadows, cottage gardens, cutting gardens, and informal beds, and it can also be grown in larger containers. Because plants self-sow readily in many climates, Wild Sensation Cosmos often returns in following seasons when conditions are favorable.

Planting & Care

Sow Wild Sensation Cosmos seeds directly outdoors after the last frost date, or start them indoors a few weeks earlier for a head start. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface and keep them moist but not soggy, since light helps germination. Thin seedlings to the recommended spacing so plants have room to branch and bloom freely.

Cosmos performs best in full sun and lean, well-drained soil; overly rich soil can encourage leafy growth at the expense of flowers. Water during dry spells, especially while plants are establishing, then allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering, or leave some flowers to mature if you want plants to self-sow for next season.
