How to Grow Sensation Mix Cosmos Seeds

1. Soil Preparation

Sensation Mix Cosmos thrives in well-drained, sandy, or loamy soil with a pH range of 6.0-7.5.

• No need for rich soil—too much fertility can lead to excessive foliage and fewer blooms.

• Avoid overwatering, as Cosmos prefer dry to moderately moist conditions.

2. Planting Instructions

• Sowing Time: Direct sow after the last frost, when soil temperatures reach 60-70°F.

• Sowing Depth: Press seeds lightly into the soil, about ¼ inch deep.

• Spacing: Plant seeds 12-18 inches apart to allow for full growth.

• Watering: Keep soil moderately moist until seedlings are established.

• Germination Time: 7-21 days depending on soil temperature.

3. Care and Maintenance

• Sunlight: Requires full sun (6-8 hours daily) for best blooms.

• Deadheading: Remove spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming.

• Mulching: Helps retain moisture and suppress weeds.

• Fertilizing: Minimal fertilization needed; too much nitrogen will reduce blooming.

• Support: Tall plants may require staking or support in windy areas.

4. Blooming & Harvesting

• Bloom Time: Mid-summer to first frost, with prolonged flowering in warmer climates.

• Cut Flower Use: Cosmos are perfect for fresh floral arrangements.

• Seed Saving: Allow some flowers to dry on the plant for easy seed collection.
