3. Growing Method of Cosmos Flowers Plant:

• Cosmos is grown by direct seed sowing in pots, containers, and flower beds.
• The garden soil should be well prepared and formed evenly. Soil should be aerated, porous with good drainage.
• Before sowing the seeds, soil should be made slightly moist.
• For beds and borders, seeds can be broadcasted directly and evenly on soil, and extra seedlings can be thinned out 25-45 cm apart.
• Immediately after sowing the seeds, water carefully with a fine rose-can.
• If grown by transplantation method, the seed is first sown in seedling trays, and seedlings are transplanted to flowerbeds/pots after one month.


• Planting Distance: 25-45 cm between two plants.


• Watering: The plant requires plenty of watering. No need to water when grown outdoors in rainy season.


• Plant care: Rust and rot can be quite severe in Cosmos. Affected plants remain stunted and do not flower properly. Spray fungicides like Uthane and Saaf to control infection.


• Bloom time: Flowering takes place in about 2.5 months after seed sowing.
