400 Flower Seeds, Cosmos "Wild Mixture" (Cosmos bipinnatus) Seeds By Seed Needs
Cosmos seed is one of the easiest of all the flower seeds in the world to grow. Cosmos seed looks like miniature pine needles, which makes seeding simple. Just scatter the flower seed over freshly turned bare soil, and then compress the seed into the dirt. Do not cover cosmos seed more then 1/16 of an inch. Because cosmos is so easy to grow in the worst conditions spring and summer have to offer, it can be seeded in the spring for early summer bloom or in mid-summer for late summer blooms until frost season begins. Since cosmos flower seeds actually sprout faster in hot soils and the plant grows best in hot, dry summer temperatures, you can increase your plant population and bloom display by cutting back spring-planted cosmos. When you plant cosmos in the the spring and it begins to look as if there are an abundance of dried seed pods, do not remove the plants. You can encourage re-bloom simply by cutting the plants back to 12 - 18 inches high. Allow those flower seed pods to open and drop their flower seeds for even more cosmos flowers.
