Cosmos - Hinomaru Seeds
For earlier blooms, cosmos can be started indoors about four weeks prior to your last frost date. Can also be direct-seeded after risk of frost has passed.
Press seeds into soil and cover only lightly. Keep moist until germination in ~3-10 days (may be longer with cooler temperatures).
Transplant after your last frost date into a sunny location, with plants 8 - 12 inches (20-30 cm) apart. Taller varieties may require support in windy spots.
