Cosmos - Early Sensation Mixed (Seeds)

Description

A rich mixture of bright clear blooms in shades of pink, white and red averaging 5 cm (2″) in diameter. Pretty, dense, finely cut foliage grows to 90 cm (3′) high. While cosmos prefer full sun they will still flower nicely in partial sun. Absolutely fabulous as cut flowers and a must have for any fresh bouquet! 

How to Grow

It is preferable to direct seed cosmos in the garden although one can start them inside if desired 4 weeks before planting out. Choose a sunny site with well drained soil and sow the seeds 3-6 mm (1/8-1/4″) deep in mid to late May. Thin to 30-40 cm (12-16″) apart when the seedlings are 5-8 cm (2-3″) tall.
