Sowing Instructions:

• Indoors: Sow seeds indoors prior to the last expected frost. Use moist, well-drained seed compost, lightly cover seeds with a sprinkling of soil. Maintain an ideal temperature of 21°C for germination, which typically occurs within 1–2 weeks. Once seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into individual pots and grow on under glass until they are ready to acclimatize and plant out after the frost risk has passed.
• Outdoors: Sow directly after frost danger has passed, into moist, well-drained soil. Keep the soil consistently moist until plants are established.

Growing Instructions:
Cosmos are remarkably easy to grow. Water regularly, but avoid overwatering. For best results, pinch out the growing tips to encourage a bushier shape, and deadhead spent flowers to prolong the blooming period. In some cases, staking may be necessary to support tall stems.

This variety of Cosmos bipinnatus makes an elegant addition to any garden. Its delicate coloring and ease of care make it a must-have for beds, borders, and cutting gardens.
