Prepare to be mesmerized by the stunning, crimson blooms of these cosmos flowers. If their vibrant hue is too overpowering, you can pair them with other wildflowers to soften the effect. This annual wildflower is an ideal choice for novice gardeners due to its simplicity to cultivate. Originating from Mexico, these vibrant blooms thrive in harsh heat and drought conditions, showcasing their natural beauty and resilience. Discovered by Spanish conquistadors during their expeditions in Mexico in search of gold, these flowers adorned many mission gardens. Their meticulously spaced petals led priests to name them "cosmos," derived from the Greek word for a harmonious whole. Introduced to England by Spanish ambassadors in the late 18th century, and later to the United States, these large, crimson flowers continue to captivate gardeners worldwide. Their ease of cultivation makes them a perfect option for beginners.

How To Grow

Sowing: In early spring or after the last frost, scatter the Cosmos Bipinnatus Dazzler seeds on the surface of loose soil. Keep the soil lightly moist until germination, which should occur within 10-20 days at soil temperatures ranging from 18-24 degrees Celsius. Cooler soil temperatures may delay germination. Seedlings do not require thinning but can be transplanted if they appear overcrowded. Since these Cosmos Bipinnatus Dazzler seeds germinate quickly in warm soil, they can be sown any time before midsummer for another round of flowers. To start the seeds indoors, sow them on the surface of a flat 6-8 weeks prior to the last frost of spring; maintain even moisture and temperatures of 21-24 degrees Celsius until germination. Once the risk of frost has passed, transplant them outdoors.

Growing: Water these plants regularly until they begin to bloom; at this point, they become quite drought tolerant. Avoid over-watering, as these flowers thrive in drought conditions and heat; in case of prolonged drought, provide occasional deep watering. If blooming decreases, trim the plant back to 30 centimeters for new growth; more blossoms will emerge in about 4 weeks. Tall plants may require support or staking. If allowed to self-seed, these flowers will produce a new crop of flowers next year. They attract birds, butterflies, and bees.

Harvesting

Harvesting: Cosmos flowers are ideal for long-lasting cut arrangements. Harvest stems with newly opened blossoms, ensuring to remove any foliage that will be submerged in water. Typically, these flowers can last in a vase for 7-10 days. Additionally, cosmos blossoms retain their attractiveness when dried for decorative purposes.

Seed Saving

Seed Saving: Once the cosmos flowers have shed their petals and formed spiky seed heads, allow them to fully ripen until the heads turn brown or dark brown. Once ripe, the heads can be easily broken apart to reveal the slender, sharp seeds inside. Collect the ripe seed heads and spread them out to dry in a shaded area away from direct sunlight. After complete drying, separate the seeds from the husks by breaking apart the heads. Store the cleaned Cosmos Bipinnatus Dazzler seeds in a cool, dry location.
