Cosmos Lemonade is a delightful variety of Cosmos that will add a delicate, light feel to your garden, flowering until the first frosts. These cosmos are easy to grow and look after, perfect for a hot, sunny garden. Sow Cosmos seed from March to May at a depth of 3mm in a good quality seed compost. Keep the soil damp but not wet and do not exclude light as this aids germination, which usually takes 7-15 days. When seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant into 7cm pots and grow them on in cooler conditions until large enough to plant outdoors. When Cosmos plants are well grown and all risk of frost has passed, acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over 7 to 10 days. Transplant outdoors in full sun in any moist, well-drained soil at a distance of 45cm apart. Pinch out the growing tip of each stem when transplanting to encourage stems to branch and produce more Cosmos flowers. Position: Full sun. Height: Up to 70cm when fully established. Spread: Up to 40cm when fully established. Supplied as 1 Packet.
