Sea Shells Cosmos Seeds for planting | 100 Seeds

• Sea Shells Cosmos (Cosmos bipinnatus ‘Sea Shells’) is an annual with delicate, semi-double, shell-shaped flowers in soft pastel shades, growing 12–24 inches (30–60 cm) tall and blooming from mid-summer through fall; ideal for borders, containers, wildflower gardens, and cut flowers

• Seeds are best direct sown outdoors after the last frost; in mild climates, they can be sown in early spring or late fall; Cosmos does not transplant well because of its long taproot, so direct sowing is recommended

• Prefers light, well-draining soil with moderate fertility; overly rich soil promotes foliage at the expense of flowers

• To sow, scatter seeds on the soil surface and press lightly without covering too deeply, as light aids germination; thin seedlings to 12–18 inches (30–45 cm) apart

• Requires full sun for best flowering; partial shade may reduce bloom

• Water lightly during germination; once established, Sea Shells Cosmos is drought tolerant and prefers moderate watering; overwatering can weaken plants and reduce flower production

• Seeds typically germinate in 7–14 days at ideal temperatures of 65–75°F (18–24°C)

• Fertilization is minimal; if soil is very poor, apply a light, balanced fertilizer, but avoid excess nutrients, which cause lush foliage and fewer flowers

• Generally pest- and disease-free; occasional aphids may appear and can be washed off with water; poor drainage can lead to root problems

• Suitable for containers with excellent drainage; allowing flowers to mature will encourage self-seeding and natural reseeding for future seasons
