Cosmos bipinnatus Fizzy Rose Picotee

Description

Start the seeds indoors between March-April.

Sow the seeds on the surface of moist compost and lightly cover.

Place in a heated propagator at a constant temperature of 20-25c.

Alternatively, sow directly outside between May-June.

The seeds will germinate in 7-21 days.

Once the seedlings are 5-7cm, transplant into individual pots.

Gradually acclimatise the plants to cooler conditions.

When the seedlings have formed 2-3 pairs of leaves, pinch out the tips.

Plant out once the risk of frost has passed (May-June).

If growing in pots, use a liquid feed every couple of weeks.
