HOW TO GROW COSMOS
Sow seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before your average last frost date. Direct sow outside 1-2 weeks after your average last frost date. Barely cover seeds with soil, and plant a few seeds every 12”. Thin to 1 seedling every 12”. These seeds are easy to save! When the flower petals dry down and fall off the plant, harvest the dark brown seeds for future planting!
