DESCRIPTION
Cosmos Sensation are annual flowers with colorful daisy-like flowers that sit atop long slender stems. Blooming throughout the summer months.
They attract birds, bees, and butterflies to your garden. Growing easily from seeds, cosmos even survive in poor soil conditions! Here’s how to grow cosmos.
Cosmos Sensation produce 3- to 5-inch daisy-like flowers in various colors, including pink, red, white, and maroon. Their flowerheads may be bowl– or open cup–shaped. These beautiful plants can reach 4-6 feet tall.
Cosmos grow in both beds and containers—and they also make great cut flowers!
PLANTING
Just sow seeds lightly—about ¼-inch deep and 12–18 inches apart. You can also plant transplants instead of seeds.
Cosmos don’t need any special soil preparation. In fact, they like soil that is not too rich, as rich soil will encourage foliage at the expense of bloom.
Cosmos flowers can tolerate warm, dry weather. They are even drought-tolerant.
Depending on the type of flower, cosmos can grow anywhere between 18 to 60 inches tall.
If you are growing cosmos from seeds, be mindful that it takes about 7 weeks to first bloom. After that, though, your flowers should continue to bloom until the start of Winter.
If you let the spiky-brown seed heads blow away during the fall, cosmos might self-sow throughout your garden.
Sowing Season:
September, October
