- Best planted in warm-season gardening temperatures between 70°F–85°F (21°C–29°C).
Planting Details:
- Seed Depth: Plant seeds about 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) deep.
- Spacing: Space seeds or plants 12–18 inches apart to allow for proper air circulation.
- Soil Requirements: Prefers well-drained, loamy soil with a pH of 6.0–7.5.
- Sunlight: Needs full sun for optimal growth and flowering.
Care Instructions:
Watering:
- Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during the flowering period.
- While Cosmos are drought-tolerant, they benefit from deeper watering during dry spells.
Fertilization:
- Apply a balanced fertilizer (e.g., 10-10-10) at planting time and once blooms appear for strong growth and vibrant flowers.
- Avoid excess nitrogen, as it can lead to excess foliage growth at the expense of flowers.
Weeding and Mulching:
- Keep the planting area free of weeds that compete for nutrients.
- Apply mulch to retain moisture and prevent weed growth.
Pest and Disease Control:
- Cosmos are relatively pest-resistant, but watch for aphids or spider mites. Use insecticidal soap or neem oil as needed.
- While disease-resistant, proper spacing and good air circulation will help prevent powdery mildew and other fungal issues.
Harvesting:
- Maturity: Wild Cosmos Seeds - Sensation Mix typically matures in 60–90 days, depending on growing conditions.
- Harvesting Method: Harvest flowers when they are fully open but still fresh, cutting the stems 12–18 inches (30–45 cm) from the base of the flower for long-lasting blooms.
- Storage: Flowers can be stored in a cool, dry place or refrigerated for up to a week to maintain freshness.
Culinary Uses:
- Edible Flowers: Cosmos blooms are edible and can be used as a garnish for salads or desserts.
