Sowing Instructions

 

Sow seeds indoors from March to April or directly outdoors from late April to May.

For indoor sowing, use seed trays or pots filled with fine compost. Scatter seeds thinly on the surface and lightly cover with compost. Keep the soil moist and maintain a temperature of 18-21°C for germination. Once seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into individual pots and harden them off before planting outdoors.

 

For outdoor sowing, lightly rake seeds into well-prepared soil and water gently. Thin seedlings as necessary to allow for proper spacing of 30-40 cm between plants.

 

 

Cosmos Picotee will provide effortless elegance and a vibrant pop of colour throughout the growing season. Whether used in cut flower arrangements or as part of a perennial border, this variety is sure to impress.
