Cosmos Bipinnatus Flower Seeds - Mexican Aster 11 Colors (10g)

To grow Cosmos flowers, follow these steps: 1. Directly sow Cosmos seeds into prepared seedbeds outdoors after the last frost has passed. For a natural look, scatter the seeds onto the soil. 2. Lightly rake the soil over the seeds at a 1/16 inch depth and keep the area moist. The seeds will germinate in 14-21 days under proper conditions. 3. Cosmos plants will self-sow and return the next year if some spent blooms are left on the plant. Deadheading will extend the bloom season for the current year. 4. Cosmos are annuals known for their showy flowers. The flower heads can be bowl- or open cup-shaped and sit atop long stems. They are easy to grow and make great border or container plants. 5. Cosmos are native to Mexico and require full sun. They work well as cut flowers and attract birds with their seeds. 6. Avoid fertilizing Cosmos with rich soil, as they may grow too tall and become unstable. Water them until they are established, then reduce the amount of water needed. 7. Cosmos thrive in warm weather and do not tolerate cold or wintry climates. They bloom profusely through the summer months until the first frost. 8. Cosmos flowers come in various colors such as orange, yellow, white, pink, and more. Sow 6 seeds per plant and space them 24 inches apart for best results. 9. These annual garden plants can be grown in USDA Zones 3-10 and reach a height of 18-60 inches with slender leaves and flowers at the top of the stems.

In conclusion, growing Cosmos flowers is easy and rewarding. They are beautiful, low-maintenance plants that can brighten up any garden or container. Remember to follow the planting steps and care instructions to enjoy a vibrant display of Cosmos blooms throughout the season.
