Growing Tips
Direct sow outdoors after the last frost in a full-sun location — cosmos germinate quickly and easily from seed. Sow shallowly and thin to 12–18 inches apart. Resist the urge to fertilize — rich soil produces lush foliage but fewer flowers. Water until established, then cosmos largely care for themselves. Deadhead regularly to extend the bloom season, or leave spent flowers to self-sow for a naturalized planting that returns each year. Stake tall plants in windy locations.
