Planting Tips for Success
- Sunlight: Plant in full sun, at least 6 to 8 hours each day, for the most abundant blooms.
- When to Plant: Direct sow after all danger of frost has passed and soil has begun to warm.
- Soil: Choose well-drained soil. Cosmos tolerates average and lean soil well, while overly rich soil can encourage leaves at the expense of flowers.
- Planting Depth: Sow seeds ¼ inch deep and keep the soil lightly moist until seedlings emerge.
- Spacing: Thin or space plants about 12 inches apart for good airflow and a full display.
- Watering: Water regularly while seedlings establish, then water deeply when the soil becomes dry. Established plants tolerate dry spells well.
- Fertilizing: Avoid heavy feeding. If needed, use a light, balanced fertilizer sparingly.
- Deadheading: Remove spent flowers to keep plants tidy and encourage fresh blooms through the season.
- Successive Sowing: Sow a small new patch every few weeks for an extended run of color.
