Plant several Cosmos together for maximum impact. A long season of these reliable flowers from late June through to late October or November or first frost - from an early sowing and depending, of course, on a mild Autumn. The wonderful flowers are large, the stems are well branched and the foliage is feathery and pretty. Tall flowers are excellent in floral arrangements. The plants will grow happily in a sunny position and the flowers will attract bees, butterflies and other pollinators. Remember to dead head them to encourage more flowers. Approx height 90cm and Spread 45cm.
Sowing Indoors Feb to Early May, Outdoors May
Sow indoors Late Feb to early May. Sow the seeds thinly in pots or cell trays filled with damp seed compost. Cover the seeds with a thin layer of sieved seed compost. Place in a greenhouse, propagator or indoors on a window sill. Cover with glass or clingfilm but remove this as soon as the seedlings appear. Keep soil damp but not soaked. Germination takes 14-28 days with a temperature ideally 15-20c. If seeds have been sown in seed trays, when large enough, transplant the young plants into 9cm pots and grow on in a cooler temperature, pinch out tips to encourage bushy plants (do this when the plants are 15-20cm tall). In May, when the plants are a good size, acclimatise them to outdoor temperatures for a week or so before planting out into flower beds 40cm apart, containers or very large patio pots - preferably in a sunny position and protect from frost. Remember to pinch out the growing tip of each plant to encourage bushy growth and more flowers! Protect the plants from frost. Keep watered but not soaked.
Sow Outdoors It is preferable to sow the seeds indoors but seeds can also be sown outdoors in May, but not until frost has finished.
Your seeds will be packed in a manilla/grip seal packet and they will be sent by 1st Class Post in a protective padded envelope, with growing instructions.
