Cosmos Bipinnatus

Cosmos (Cosmos Bipinnatus Mix) - One of the most popular annuals to grow from flower seeds, Cosmos Bipinnatus, provide such an amazing display of color for the little amount of work they require. This seed mix has colors of pink, white, and maroon. What a fabulous sight to see this mix of colors in a field or meadow! They naturalize very easily and are attractive to bees and butterflies. Sometimes the name Mexican Aster is used for these flowers. Cosmos plants are liberal self-sowers, so helping them along just means there will be more blooms!

Adaptable wildflowers

Cosmos wildflowers are native to our own southwest and more commonly, Mexico. The flowers are often called Mexican Aster. They do well in hot, desert type areas, but they easily adapt to many conditions and thrive.

How to grow

How To Grow Cosmos From Seed: Cosmos Bipinnatus seeds look like miniature pine needles, so they are easy to work with and sow. They don't mind over crowding, so scattering the flower seeds over freshly tilled bare soil is a fast and easy seeding method.

After scattering the seeds, compress the them into the dirt and cover lightly with no more than 1/16 inch of soil. Keep the soil moist, and very shortly fast-growing, fern-leaved plants will shoot up. When the seedlings are 4 - 12 inches tall, they transplant very well. Dig them up and move them wherever you would like them to grow.

  • Sowing Rate: 15 pounds per acre
  • Average Germ Time: 14 - 21 days
  • Keep moist until germination
  • Attracts bees and butterflies
  • Depth: 1/16 inch

You can encourage re-bloom simply by cutting the plants back to 12 - 18 inches high. Allow those seed pods to open and drop their flower seeds onto the soil.
