Planting & Care
Sow Tango Cosmos seeds directly outdoors after the last frost date, or start indoors 4-6 weeks before transplanting. Press seeds lightly into the soil and keep moist until germination, which typically occurs in 7-21 days at 70-75°F. Thin seedlings to stand 12-18 inches apart. These plants thrive in full sun and well-drained soil; avoid over-fertilizing, as rich soil can promote foliage at the expense of blooms. Water regularly during dry spells, but allow soil to dry slightly between waterings. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continued blooming.
