How to grow Psyche White Cosmos seeds

Choose Your Planting Method

• Indoors: Start indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost.
• Outdoors: Direct sow after the last frost; sowings can continue until midsummer for a later crop.

Prepare Your Materials

• Seed-starting trays or pots (if indoors)
• Well-draining seed-starting mix
• Spray bottle for misting

Sowing the Seeds

• Sow about 1/8 inch deep and cover with a fine sprinkle of vermiculite.
• Do not exclude light — it aids germination.

Provide the Right Conditions

• Light: Light aids germination; give seedlings full light after emergence.
• Temperature: 65-80°F (18-27°C).

Germination

• Germination typically takes 7-15 days.
• Keep the soil lightly moist until seedlings are established.

Transplanting

• Plant out after all frost danger, spacing plants 12-18 inches apart.
• Pinch out the growing tips at transplanting to encourage branching and more flowers.

Care Tips

• Sun: Full sun.
• Water: Average water; avoid overwatering and rich soil, which produce leafy growth at the expense of flowers.
• Fertilizer: Generally not a heavy feeder; too much fertilizer reduces blooming.
• Deadhead spent blooms regularly to keep the display going; tall plants may need light staking.

Bloom Time:

Summer to fall.
