Cosmos Cosmic Mix
How to Grow
Seed Count: approximately 100 seeds
Germination: 7-10 days at 68-80F
Seeding Depth: 1/8-1/4” depth, light required
Plant Spacing: direct seed 6”, transplant 12”
Days to Maturity: 70-90 days
Early-Season Seeding: Start seed indoors 4-5 weeks before the last frost date, transplant after the danger of frost has passed. Direct seed outdoors after the last frost date or when soil temperature is above 60F.
Late-Season Seeding: Start seed indoors or direct seed outdoors at least 11 weeks before the first frost date.
Growing Tips: Trellis may be required to support thin stems in windy conditions. Cut spent blooms to encourage more flowering or allow them to go to seed and self sow.
Cut Flower: Pinch growing point when the plant is 1’ tall to promote multi-stem growth. Harvest when flower buds are starting to open but before pollination occurs to ensure a longer vase life. Single flowers bloom 4-6 days when using flower food. The bloom period can be extended by harvesting stems with several buds at differing maturities to stagger blooming times.
