Cosmos timelapse! Seed to full bloom - 4 months in 2 mins. See description for dates/details 

Thank you so much 😊

Thanks 😊! We planted more this year and we will post something soon…!

Thanks 😊

Thanks 😊

Thanks 😊! We planted them quite close by and barely thinned the seedlings. Maybe about a inch apart. But these are wildflowers and will do fine however. If they are close they tend to support each other when the grow big and unwieldy..😂

It needs full sun to grow.. at least 6+hrs a day

Thanks 😊! We actually didn’t pinch it back. The first flower took a while and by then it had naturally branched. We were removing the spent flowers very often to prompt fresh ones..

I’m not sure. Is it the same variety? I’d just let them be and see what happens

These can be a bit flaky depending the variety, climate, soil conditions etc. we have had mixed results with cosmos but this first time it went nuts. They need a lot of sun and relatively warm climate

@@episodefromthegarden You're so right about warm temperatures and sun. The sooner it gets hot the more prolific the plant blooms, although cosmos can also withstand lower temperatures (around 10 degrees) and continue blooming into fall. Mine has been happily flowering. Not a whole lot but each bloom is a bundle of fragrance and joy. A small tip from my experience: if you live in a colder climate with a shorter growing season: start seeds indoors early and *pinch* the seedlings. I pinched twice (once indoors and once when their growth takes off outdoor). It will take time for them to develop buds, but when they do, the waves of new buds and flowers every day are so worth it.

@@ThaoNguyen-hl6mb glad you were able to grow them and thanks for the tips!

There are many Cosmos varieties some are small and some grow tall and large. The variety we grew is in the description. I didn’t pinch off any buds. I just let them do its thing

There are many different cosmos varieties, some are short and some are much larger. The one we grew is in the link in the description. I didn’t mess with them once I planted. Just watered and occasionally fertilized. Mine didn’t put out buds until June. The seeds were sown around late March early April

Yes these are annuals. The die in the end of the season

We had some bamboo canes and wooden stakes to keep them supported. Overall they are quite sturdy unless you have strong winds

These got about 6-7feet tall

See the video description on where you can buy these seeds. That’s where I got them. Good luck 👍🏼

You can find these seeds online

Thanks 😊

Thanks 😊! It’s also lot of fun!

Sure, did you watch till the end?

Thanks 😊

Thanks 😊

Best of luck!

This is the one I planted www.botanicalinterests.com/products/sea-shells-blend-cosmos-seeds

They probably could, but I'd cover them with a thin layer of soil, just in case birds or squirrels try to eat the seeds. Plus, it'd make it easy to root and absorb water. Sowing works fine.

Yeah generally we cover them lightly and keep it moist until it germinates.

I don’t sell seeds. You can easily find it in stores and online. You can look for www.botanicalinterests.com/product/Sea-Shells-Blend-Cosmos-Seeds

@@episodefromthegarden ok thanks 😊
