Step Three: Growing
How to keep happy?
Seedlings will emerge in 7-10 days. Thin plants to stand 8-10 inches apart when seedlings are 1 inch high to prevent possible rot.
Keep soil evenly moist but not wet.
After plants are about 6 inches tall, a light fertilizer may be applied.
Cosmos
Freely flowering cosmos, sown after frost, grace gardens effortlessly. Within two months, they mature fully, offering continuous summer-to-fall blooms. Their daisy-like flowers atop slender stems charm bees, butterflies, and birds. With varied colors and foliage, they're beloved garden additions. In the southern U.S., consider pots to contain their invasive nature.
