Cosmos bipinnatus Double bloomed white, pink, and red ‘Double Click Mix’ cosmos mix brings the perfect blend that blooms on airy foliage summer through fall. Their fine texture leaves and 2-4” blossoms add texture and interest to your garden and flower arrangements. Cosmos are drought tolerant and attract pollinators of all kinds making them a great companion plant in your vegetable garden. Plant Height: 30cm - 1 meter Light Requirements: full sun Soil Preference: average fertility and moderate water conditions How to Grow Germination: 7-10 days at 18oC+ Seeding Depth: 5mm depth, light required for germination Plant Spacing: 30cm Days to Maturity: 75-90 days Early-Season Seeding: Start seed indoors 4-5 weeks before the last frost date, transplant after the danger of frost has passed. Direct seed outdoors after the last frost date or when soil temperature is above 15oC Late-Season Seeding: Start seed indoors or direct seed outdoors at least 13 weeks before the first frost date. Growing Tips: Trellis may be required to support thin stems in windy conditions. Cut spent blooms to encourage more flowering or allow them to go to seed and self sow. These prefer less frequent fertilization as too much nitrogen can promote foliage but limit flower growth. Cut Flower: Pinch the growing point when the plant is 5cm tall to promote multi-stem growth. Harvest when flower buds are starting to open but before pollination occurs to ensure a longer vase life. Single flowers bloom 4-6 days when using flower food. The bloom period can be extended by harvesting stems with several buds at differing maturities to stagger blooming times
