Sow seeds ¼ inch deep and thin or transplant to 12–18 inches apart. Like all cosmos, 'Xanthos' prefers lean, well-drained soil — avoid rich or heavily fertilized soil, which promotes foliage over flowers. Water until established, then water sparingly; cosmos is drought-tolerant once growing. Deadhead regularly to encourage continuous blooming throughout the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePackaged by Botanical Interests — a trusted name in heirloom and open-pollinated seeds since 1995.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e# 1264\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Botanical Interests","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50321905975510,"sku":"6649","price":3.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1659\/9117\/files\/BotanicalInterestsCosmosXanthosSeeds.jpg?v=1787689343","url":"https:\/\/www.cfhydroponics.com\/products\/botanical-interests-cosmos-xanthos-seeds","provider":"CF Hydroponics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
