When do cosmos flowers bloom?
Here is an introduction to when cosmos flowers bloom and a brief overview of their flowering period for green plants and flowers, which will be introduced by the site editor for netizens.
Actually, cosmos flowers are known as Gesang flowers and are commonly referred to as autumn flowers. They are highly adaptable, easy to cultivate, with low planting costs and quick results. They usually bloom 2-3 months after sowing, have good environmental benefits, and are often cultivated as large-scale flower sea landscapes.
Cosmos flowers prefer sunlight, are drought-resistant, not strict about soil requirements, can tolerate poor soil, and can be planted in sandy or clay soils. Most areas in Heilongjiang province cultivate them, and they can be seen everywhere on slopes, farmlands, roadsides, ridges, riverbanks, and gardens.
To have them bloom in autumn and see beautiful flowers around National Day in October, you need to sow in the summer, from June to August, and they will bloom around October. The flowering period is long, from September until frost. The plants are short and bloom uniformly, with light and beautiful flowers in various colors such as pink, white, and deep red, and the flowers bloom profusely with elegant leaf shapes. They are also often used as cut flower materials and as background materials for flower borders.
Why do cosmos flowers have high environmental and landscape benefits:
1. Cosmos flowers have a strong self-sowing ability. After the first year of sowing, once planted, they will produce a large number of self-sown seedlings, and they will germinate and bloom again the following year without needing to be planted again, which is easy and convenient to manage. Under suitable temperatures, they can germinate within a week.

2. Many landscape flowers are infested with weeds, which seriously affects the growth and ornamental effects of the flowers, and manual weeding is costly. Cosmos flowers are relatively easy to manage. Remove the weeds before sowing, and there are few weeds during the later growth stages.
3. Cosmos flowers are easy to cultivate and do not require much effort. For mass planting, you can directly broadcast the seeds, for pot planting, you can transplant, and for flower beds, you can place 2-3 seeds every 20-30 cm. If they are too dense, you can thin them for vigorous growth. In dry areas, you can sow after the rain, as moist soil is more conducive to seed germination. It is important to prevent waterlogging.
Cosmos flowers grow and germinate quickly at temperatures between 18-25 degrees. Although the management is relaxed, pruning is required if the branches and leaves become too tall in summer to promote dwarfing and increase the number of flowers. To prevent lodging, do not over-fertilize or water the field, as this can lead to excessive growth, resulting in fewer flowers and gradual degeneration due to hybridization.
