Sowing instructions
Cosmos is a light germinator that you may cover a little with soil. You can push the seeds, which are oblong, vertically into the ground. Not quite, you want a bit left above the ground. A handy tip if you are pre-seeding. If you sow directly in the open ground, it is often enough to spread the seeds over the soil, press lightly and then keep them moist, but not wet. After an average of 5 to 7 days, the first seeds are already germinating.
