For the best sowing time and maintenance of cosmos, those who enjoy raising flowers must master these points.
Also known as Gesang flower, cosmos has unique and beautiful flowers, especially with ornamental value. The best planting time for cosmos is in spring and autumn because the weather is mild and it is the growing stage for many flowers, making it very suitable. Cosmos planted in spring can bloom in May, and the flowering period can last for three months. Don't think the flowering period is short. Although there is only a three-month viewing period, after the flowers fade, new flowers will bloom again after a short time. Cosmos is not a plant that blooms only once. It will stop blooming only when it gets cold at the beginning of winter. So, when is the sowing time for cosmos?
The sowing time for cosmos is in spring, and it grows very fast. The blooming time is almost the same as the planting time, usually blooming after March. If sown in February, cosmos can be seen all over the mountains and fields in May. Cosmos after September will gradually wither, but new flower buds can be seen in a week or two. After October, it is a new batch of flowers. If well cared for, the flowers will bloom continuously, with the previous flowers fading and the new ones blooming, lasting from the blooming period to winter. However, the flowers will be smaller when the weather gets cold or after blooming once, but this does not affect their beauty.
How to sow cosmos
Now is the most suitable time to plant cosmos, but the weather recently has been quite overcast. If it is cloudy, first put the seeds you bought into a dry cloth bag and place it in a dry place to prevent the seeds from molding or germinating. Then take out all the flower pots of various sizes at home. When planting, just sprinkle the seeds on the soil surface, no need to dig holes to bury them. Planting cosmos in the ground is even simpler; just loosen the soil where cosmos is to be planted and sprinkle the seeds on the surface.
How to plant Velot dwarf cosmos
When cosmos is grown in a pot, after the seeds are scattered on the surface, cover them with a layer of plastic wrap to prevent the seeds from being washed away when watering and to promote seed growth by providing a better growing temperature. Seeds grown in such an environment will sprout in less than a week. They should not be exposed to sunlight before germination, but once the seedlings are visible, they must be moved to a sunny place to make the seedlings grow faster. Fertilize and water regularly, but not too frequently, as excessive watering can cause root rot and lead to withering.
Before cosmos blooms, it is necessary to tidy up and trim the flower core appropriately. This can promote the growth of more flower buds. After the first batch of flowers fades, collect some seeds to plant, and store them in a dry cloth bag. Make sure they do not get damp. In addition to raising them yourself, you can also give some to friends. If you don't want to give away flowers, you can give seeds instead, as they are also easy to raise.
