Planting Details:
- Seed Depth: Plant seeds about 1 inch (2.5 cm) deep.

- Soil Requirements: Prefers well-drained, loamy soil with a pH of 6.0–7.5.
- Sunlight: Requires full sun to thrive and produce abundant blooms.
Care Instructions
Watering:
- While drought-tolerant, Cosmos benefit from consistent moisture, especially during flowering. Water deeply once a week or more often during hot, dry conditions.
Fertilization:
- Apply a balanced fertilizer (e.g., 10-10-10) during planting and again once blooms begin to emerge. Avoid excessive nitrogen, which may result in more foliage at the expense of flowers.
Weeding and Mulching:
- Keep the area around your plants free from weeds to reduce competition for nutrients.
- Mulch to retain moisture, control weeds, and maintain an even soil temperature.
Pest and Disease Control:
- Cosmos are generally pest-resistant, but watch for aphids and sunflower beetles. Use insecticidal soap or neem oil as needed.
- Space plants well to prevent the growth of mildew and ensure good air circulation. Rotate crops to avoid rust and other fungal issues.
Harvesting:
- Maturity: Sulphur Carpet Mix flowers typically mature in 70–85 days, depending on growing conditions.
- Harvesting Method: Cut the flowers when fully open, but before they begin to wilt, to ensure maximum bloom longevity.
- Storage: Fresh blooms can be kept in a cool, dry place or refrigerated for up to a week for maximum freshness.
Culinary Uses:
