Growing Non-GMO Organic Dwarf Sensation Mix Cosmos Flower Seeds

Dwarf Sensation Mix Cosmos is a drought-tolerant full-sun performer and most commonly sown directly after the frost but, for earliest blooms, begin seeds 4-6 weeks indoors before the last frost. Germinate them in a warm area (at least 60°F soil temperature) and not buried too deep. Harden off the seedlings gradually and be sure the danger of frost has passed before permanently transplanting them outdoors. Expect to see blooms in 5-7 weeks!

Deadhead the spent blooms regularly to encourage more flower development and an attractive branching habit. Let some develop into the seed heads towards the end of the season if you wish to have them self-seed for next year. Once established, these plants require little supplemental water except in extreme drought conditions. Until they fully establish, they will benefit from regular irrigations that slowly taper off. Do not fertilize. Any amount of fertilization will encourage foliage and not blooms.
