Willow's Cosmos Mix

Sowing and Growing

1. Sow indoors at 20C onto moist compost from March and cover lightly
2. Transfer seedlings to small pots when large enough to handle
3. Or direct sow after the risk of frosts into well raked soil
4. Thin to 40-60cm when seedlings are 3-5cm tall

Easy-to-grow and low maintenance flower. Keep the soil moist and deadhead for bushier plants. May need staking if planted in an exposed spot.
