Early Sensation Mixed Cosmos Seeds 5160. A rich mixture of bright clear blooms in shades of pink, white and red averaging 5 cm (2"") in diameter. Pretty, dense, finely cut foliage grows to 90 cm (3""²) high. While cosmos prefer full sun they will still flower nicely in partial sun. Absolutely fabulous as cut flowers and a must have for any fresh bouquet!

How to Grow

70 seed/gram. It is preferable to direct seed cosmos in the garden although one can start them inside if desired 4 weeks before planting out. Choose a sunny site with well drained soil and sow the seeds 3-6 mm (1/8-1/4"") deep in mid to late May. Thin to 30-40 cm (12-16"") apart when the seedlings are 5-8 cm (2-3"") tall.
