Press seeds lightly into the soil surface and keep them moist until germination; light helps germination, so avoid burying them deeply. Thin seedlings to the recommended spacing once they are established.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCosmos performs best in full sun and lean, well-drained soil. Avoid over-fertilizing, which can encourage leafy growth at the expense of flowers. Water during dry spells, and deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering through the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e200 Xanthos Cosmos seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67776209125686,"sku":"FOLIA-402","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7321118005_7va2.jpg?v=1792468351","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/200-xanthos-cosmos-seeds-pale-yellow-flowers-for-pollinator-gardens","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
