Ideal for cutting, their sturdy stems make them a favorite for fresh arrangements, while their nectar-rich flowers draw butterflies and bees, enriching any outdoor space. Whether used as a decorative accent or a pollinator magnet, Cosmos Red Mixed plants offer both visual splendor and practical value.

Growing Conditions for Cosmos Red Mixed Plants

• Soil Preferences: Well-draining soil, adaptable to average or nutrient-poor conditions, with a pH of 6.0-7.0.
• Temperature Range: Thrives in warm climates, ideally 70°F to 85°F, sensitive to frost.
• Spacing Needs: Space plants 12-18 inches apart to support their natural spread and health.

Planting Tips for Cosmos Red Mixed

• Direct Sowing: Plant seeds for planting outdoors after the last frost, in soil warmed to 60°F or higher.
• Depth: Sow seeds ¼ inch deep, lightly covering with soil and pressing gently.
• Containers: Opt for pots at least 12 inches deep with drainage for successful container planting.
• Companions: Pair with vegetable seeds like peppers to enhance pollination and garden harmony.

Watering Instructions and Tips

• Frequency: Water lightly, about 1 inch per week, as they tolerate dry spells once established.
• Method: Water at the base to keep foliage dry, reducing disease risk.
• Timing: Morning watering ensures plants dry out during the day, promoting vigor.
• Tip: In containers, check drainage to prevent waterlogging—let soil dry slightly between waterings.
