What you need to know to Plant & Grow

Cosmos are incredibly easy to grow and thrive on neglect, making them ideal for beginners and experienced gardeners alike.

  • Sow Indoors: Start seeds indoors 4 to 6 weeks before the last expected frost date, or direct sow after all danger of frost has passed.

  • Germination: Seed typically germinates in 7 to 14 days.

  • Transplanting: Transplant seedlings outside into a location with Full Sun and average soil. Avoid overly rich soil, as this encourages lush foliage but fewer flowers.

Deadhead spent blooms often, or harvest flowers regularly, to encourage continuous, prolific flowering right up until frost. Taller varieties may benefit from staking in windy locations.
