Thompson Morgan Cosmos Bipinnatus Sonata Series Mixed 1 Seed Packet 30 Seeds Pink

Cosmos ‘Sonata Series Mixed’ is perfectly proportioned for sunny borders and containers. The daisy like blooms can reach up to 8cm (3”) wide and float above the finest lacy foliage. A beautiful award winning mix of colours, these have strong long stems that are also suitable for cut flowers. Sow Cosmos seed from March to May at a depth of 3mm (1/8") in a good quality seed compost, and cover the seeds with a very fine sprinkling of vermiculite. Place the seed tray in a propagator at a temperature of 18-25C (64-77F) or seal it inside a polythene bag. Keep the soil damp but not wet. Do not exclude light as this aids germination which usually takes 7-15 days. When seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant into 7cm (3") pots and grow them on in cooler conditions until large enough to plant outdoors. When Cosmos plants are well grown and all risk of frost has passed, acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over 7 to 10 days. Transplant outdoors in full sun in any moist, well-drained soil at a distance of 45cm (18") apart. Pinch out the growing tip of each stem when transplanting to encourage stems to branch and produce more Cosmos flowers.
