Cosmos Potted Flower Seeds are small and typically black or dark brown in color. When planted, they can grow into a tall and slender plant with delicate, daisy-like flowers in shade of yellow.
Highlights:
- Product Type: Bonsai
- Full-bloom Period: Autumn
- Quantity: 100 pieces
- Soil requirements: Cosmos seeds prefer well-drained, light soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 7.0. They thrive in poor to average soil conditions and do not require rich, fertile soil.
- Sunlight needs: Cosmos plants require full sun to grow optimally. They need at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight each day.
- Watering requirements: Water cosmos seeds moderately. They prefer to be kept on the drier side, so water them when the top inch of soil feels dry. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
- Planting season: The best time to plant cosmos seeds is in the spring, after the last frost has passed. They can also be started indoors 4 to 6 weeks before the last frost date.
- Depth and spacing: Plant cosmos seeds about 1/4 inch deep and space them 12 to 18 inches apart to allow for proper air circulation and growth.
- Germination time: Cosmos seeds typically germinate within 7 to 21 days under optimal conditions.
- Maturity time: Cosmos plants usually reach maturity and begin to bloom within 70 to 90 days after planting.
- Harvesting time: The best time to harvest cosmos flowers is early in the morning when the blooms are fresh and fully open.
- Harvesting tips: Use sharp scissors or pruning shears to cut the flowers. To encourage continuous blooming, deadhead spent flowers regularly. Store harvested flowers in a cool, dry place or use them immediately in floral arrangements.
