Mr Fothergills – Flower – Cosmos – Mandarin – 30 Seeds

Bright, long flowering dwarf plants Radiant orange blooms on rounded, compact plants. Flowering over a long season, for beds and borders Sow indoors, for surest results, 0.5cm (1/4″) deep, in trays of compost. Water well and place in a warm position, a temperature of 15-20oC (60-68oF) is ideal. Keep moist. Seedlings usually apppear in 14-28 days. Transplant seedlings 5cm (2″) apart to other trays. (Always handle by a leaf, never by the stem.) Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions (avoid frosts), before planting out 30cm (1′) apart. Remove dead flowers to prolong flowering season. Cosmos does well even in poor soils or dry summers.
