Cosmos (Cosmos Bipinnatus Sensation Gloria) - Cosmos is one of the easiest flower seeds to grow, and it is just as easy to maintain! These gorgeous annuals thrive with neglect, and they are perfect for the weekend gardener. Sensation Gloria has large, 4 inch blooms of rosy-pink with a crimson and yellow eye. They are incredibly beautiful when planted in mass. A sunny location and little water is all that they need to perform well. Don't even apply fertilizer as it tends to produce unusually tall, lanky plants with few blooms.
Cosmos wildflowers are native to our own southwest and more commonly, Mexico. These annuals also go by the name of Mexican Aster, and they do well in hot, desert type areas, but they easily adapt to many conditions and thrive. They are known as an excellent cut flower with a vase life of 7 - 10 days. Cut the blooms in the early morning hours, and select stems with flowers that have just opened. Remove the leaves below the water line, and enjoy a beautiful bouquet!
Directly sow Cosmos Mexican Aster flower seeds into prepared soil after danger of frost has passed. For a natural display, scatter the flower seeds and lightly rake the soil over the Cosmos seeds at a depth of 1/16 inch and keep moist until germination. They perform well even when crowded.
