Thompson & Morgan Cosmos Psyche 1 Packet (100 Seeds)

Cosmos bipinnatus 'Psyche Mixed' produces large, semi-double and single mixed blooms that appear in shades of purple, violet and cream with a charming, upright habit. A great option for cut flower arrangements or even as summer flowering pot plants in cold greenhouses. Flowers through the summer and into the autumn months for a long lasting display. Sow Cosmos seed from March to May at a depth of 3mm (1/8") in a good quality seed compost, and cover the seeds with a very fine sprinkling of vermiculite. Place the seed tray in a propagator at a temperature of 18-25C (64-77F) or seal it inside a polythene bag. Keep the soil damp but not wet. Do not exclude light as this aids germination which usually takes 7-15 days. When seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant into 7cm (3") potsand 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. Tra
