HOW TO GROW
Sowing: In early spring or after the last frost, scatter the seeds on the surface of loose soil. Keep the soil lightly moist until germination, which should take place within 10-20 days at soil temperatures from 65-75 degrees F. Cooler soil temperatures may delay germination. Seedlings do not need to be thinned, but can be transplanted if they appear too crowded. Since these seeds germinate quickly in warm soil, they can be sown at any time before midsummer for another crop of flowers. To start the seed indoors, sow on the surface of a flat 6-8 weeks before the last frost of spring; keep the soil evenly moist and at a temperature of 70-75 degrees F until germination. When there is no chance of frost, transplant them outdoors.
Growing: Water these dwarf cosmos plants regularly until they begin to bloom; at this point they become quite drought tolerant. This flower must not be over-watered, and grows well in drought conditions and heat; if prolonged drought occurs, give the plants occasional deep watering. The soil does not need to be rich, but it must be well-drained; light shade is tolerated, but will dramatically lessen the amount of blooms.If blooming begins to decrease, cut the plant back to 12" for new growth; more blossoms will come in about 4 weeks. Tall plants may need support or staking. If allowed to self-seed, this flower will produce a new crop of flowers next year. This flower attracts birds, butterflies, and bees.
Harvesting: Dwarf Cosmos flower seeds make lovely, long lasting cut flowers. Cut long stems of blossoms that have just opened, and remove any foliage that will fall below the water level. These flowers usually have a vase life of 7-10 days. Dwarf Cosmos flower seeds also make attractive dried flowers.
Seed Saving: Allow the flowers to drop their petals and develop into spiky seed heads. When ripe, the heads will be brown or dark brown and easily broken apart to reveal the narrow, sharp seeds. Remove the ripe Dwarf Cosmos flower seeds heads and spread them out to dry away from direct sunlight. When they have completely dried, break apart the heads to separate the seeds from the husk. Store the cleaned Dwarf Cosmos flower seeds in a cool, dry place.

My Dwarf Cosmos in 2020 were extraordinary! They had challenging growing conditions and yet germination, vigor and flower exceeded my hopes!
Shipping took too long
Shipping took too long especially for only 2 envelopes of seeds. I ordered these seeds from your company, rather then another, because I needed them by a certain date and they did not arrive until after the date they were supposed to. Also, shipping cost for 2 small packs of seeds was too expensive. I could have had them shipped by amazon.com for free, but as I said I ordered from your company instead because I needed them by a specific date and despite what was advertised as the expected date of receipt, they did not arrive on time. Very disappointing especially considering my options for purchase elsewhere.
We are sorry that these took a while to arrive. The seeds shipped right out the day after it was ordered, but then the Post Office took a while to get it to you. We have seen quite a few shipping delays because of the current pandemic, and wish there was something that we could do about it.

DESCRIPTION

These showy, colorful blossoms will have the neighbors talking. This easy-to-grow annual is shorter than most Cosmos varieties, so it fits well in smaller spaces. Cosmos is great for butterfly gardens and cut flower gardens alike.-Distribution-Map.gif)
