Care Instructions
Watering:
Cosmos are drought-tolerant but benefit from consistent watering during dry spells. Water deeply once a week or more often in hot, dry conditions to keep the soil moist but not soggy.
Fertilization:
Apply a balanced, organic fertilizer during planting and once the plants start to bloom to encourage robust growth and abundant flowers. Avoid using high-nitrogen fertilizers, as they may result in excessive foliage growth at the expense of blooms.
Weeding and Mulching:
Weed regularly to prevent competition for nutrients and water. Apply mulch to help retain moisture, keep weeds at bay, and maintain stable soil temperatures.
Pest and Disease Control:
Cosmos are generally pest-resistant but keep an eye out for aphids or caterpillars. Organic insecticides, such as neem oil or insecticidal soap, can be used if necessary. Cosmos are also susceptible to powdery mildew in humid conditions, so ensure proper spacing and air circulation.
Harvesting
Maturity:
Cosmos typically mature in 70–90 days, depending on the growing conditions and planting time.
