Chocolate Cosmos Seeds - 100Pcs Flower Seeds by YEGAOL Garden

Chocolate Cosmos, also known as Cosmos atrosanguineus, is a perennial plant species that originates from Mexico and is cultivated for its distinctive chocolate scent and deep maroon or brownish-red flowers. Belonging to the Asteraceae family, it is commonly referred to as Black Cosmos or Dark Cosmos. Growing to a height of approximately 24-36 inches, this plant blossoms during the summer season, attracting butterflies and other pollinators. Chocolate Cosmos is typically used as an ornamental plant in gardens and containers.

Soil Preparation: To ensure optimal growth, Chocolate Cosmos thrives in well-draining soil enriched with organic matter. Improve soil drainage and quality by incorporating compost, peat moss, or other organic materials.

Seeding: Sow Chocolate Cosmos seeds in the spring or early summer, following the last frost date. Place seeds around 1/8 inch deep in the soil, spacing them 6 to 12 inches apart. Lightly water the soil to keep it moist.

Provide Suitable Conditions: Chocolate Cosmos prefers full sun or partial shade and requires consistently moist soil. Maintain the soil's moisture levels by regular waterings, avoiding waterlogging.

Transplanting Seedlings: Once the Chocolate Cosmos seedlings have grown enough to handle, usually after developing two to three sets of leaves, transplant them to their final location in the garden or a larger container. Space the seedlings 6 to 12 inches apart.

Plant Maintenance: While Chocolate Cosmos is low-maintenance, regular deadheading encourages continuous blooming throughout the growing season. Fertilize the plants monthly with a balanced fertilizer to promote healthy growth and flowering.
