Planting & Care

Sow Cranberry Red Cosmos seeds outdoors after the last frost date, or start indoors 4-6 weeks before transplanting. Lightly press seeds into the soil surface; do not cover deeply as light aids germination. Keep soil moist until seedlings emerge, typically in 7-21 days at 70-75°F. Thin seedlings to 12-18 inches apart to allow good air circulation.

Once established, cosmos thrive in full sun and well-drained soil. Water regularly but avoid overwatering; too much fertilizer can lead to lush foliage with fewer blooms. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. Taller plants may benefit from staking in windy areas.
