Cosmos bipinnatus is a non-native annual flower that is naturalized in the United States and frequently used as a quick-growing pollinator plant to fill gaps while perennials become established.
SOWING
Direct sow in garden after all danger of frost has passed, preferably when soil temperatures reach 60-70F. Plant seeds approximately 1/4” deep into loose, well prepared soil. Expect germination in 6-10 days. Seeds can be started in pots inside 4-6 weeks before the last frost.
SPACING
Allow 12-18” inches between plants. Pinching stem tips (pruning off the top 2-3” on the main stem) when plants reach approximately 12” tall will result in bushier plants with more flowering branches and longer stems.
