- Sunlight: Needs full sun for optimal growth and flowering.
Care Instructions
Watering:
- Water regularly but allow the soil to dry slightly between watering.
- While cosmos are drought-tolerant once established, regular watering helps promote strong growth during the blooming period.
Fertilization:
- Apply a balanced fertilizer (e.g., 10-10-10) during planting and once the plants start to bloom. Avoid excessive nitrogen, as it can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of flowers.
Weeding and Mulching:
- Keep the area around your cosmos plants free of weeds, which can compete for nutrients.
- Apply mulch to help retain moisture and suppress weed growth.
Pest and Disease Control:
- Cosmos are generally pest-resistant, but watch for aphids or caterpillars. Use insecticidal soap if necessary.
- While resistant to most diseases, cosmos can be susceptible to powdery mildew in humid conditions. Space plants well to improve airflow.
Harvesting:
- Maturity: Cosmos typically mature in 70–90 days, depending on growing conditions.
- Harvesting Method: Harvest flowers when fully open, cutting the stem at least 12 inches (30 cm) from the base.
