Planting & Care
Sow cosmos seeds outdoors after the last frost date, or start them indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost. Press seeds lightly into the soil; they need light to germinate, so do not cover them deeply. Keep the soil moist until germination, which usually occurs in 7-21 days at temperatures around 70°F. Once seedlings are a few inches tall, thin them to the recommended spacing.
Cosmos thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Water regularly but avoid overwatering; established plants are quite drought tolerant. Tall varieties may benefit from staking in windy areas. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering. Cosmos readily self-sows, so you may enjoy volunteers the following year.
