Add a burst of color to your outdoor garden with these Cosmos Potted Flower Seeds! These easy-to-grow perennial flowers are suitable for adding beauty and vibrancy to your outdoor space. With their stunning blooms and low maintenance requirements, these flower seeds are ideal for both experienced and novice gardeners alike.
Species and varieties: Cosmos bipinnatus and Cosmos sulphureus are the most common species. Varieties include 'Sensation Mix', 'Sonata', and 'Cosmic Orange'.
Hybrid or heirloom: Cosmos seeds are available in both hybrid and heirloom varieties. Heirloom varieties are often preferred for their traditional characteristics and open-pollination.
Pruning and training: Deadheading spent flowers encourages continuous blooming. Cosmos plants do not require much pruning but can be pinched back to promote bushier growth.
Fertilization needs: Cosmos are low-maintenance and do not require heavy fertilization. A light application of balanced fertilizer at planting time is sufficient. Over-fertilization can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of flowers.
Hardiness zones: Cosmos flowers are suitable for USDA hardiness zones 2-11.
Climate requirements: Cosmos thrive in warm, sunny climates with well-drained soil. They are drought-tolerant and prefer temperatures between 65-85°F (18-29°C).
