Growing cosmos, especially the Double Click Cranberries variety, is a joy even for complete beginners, provided you follow a few basic rules. Although starting them indoors is possible, you will often achieve the best results by direct sowing right in the garden bed. If you decide to start seedlings at home, begin no earlier than 2–4 weeks before the last frosts (April). Cosmos grow very quickly and would struggle in a small space. Sow the seeds deep and cover them with substrate, as they need darkness and moisture to germinate. The ideal temperature for germination is 18–22 °C and you will see the first sprouts in just 4–8 days. When sowing directly outside, wait until May, when the risk of frost has passed and the soil warms up.
One of the most important steps for a rich harvest of flowers is pinching. As soon as the plant reaches a height of about 30 cm or has 3–4 pairs of true leaves, don't be afraid to pinch off the apical shoot. This intervention will promote branching and ensure that a single plant produces at least 12 stems full of semi-double to double flowers in a beautiful magenta shade. Given that this variety grows to a height of 60–120 cm, support is necessary. You can stretch a support net or tie the plants to a string along the bed so they do not break in the wind and rain.
Cosmos love the sun and well-draining, loamy soil. Plant them with a spacing of 20–30 cm. Do not plant them too densely to ensure air circulation and prevent powdery mildew, to which they can be susceptible. Harvest the flowers when they are partially open, but the center is still firm. Furthermore, regular cutting stimulates the plant to produce new buds until September. The flowers are edible, so you can use them to decorate summer salads or desserts, and they will also attract many bees and other pollinators to the garden.
The information given is based on our experience, please use it as a guide only. Times may vary depending on the season, climate, location, sowing and transplanting dates and possibly also the conditions in the greenhouse/greenhouse. We always recommend testing how the plant performs in your conditions. Please do not take this as a guarantee.
