How to Grow Cosmos Seeds

• Soil Requirement: Light, well-drained soil; avoid over-fertile soil to prevent excessive foliage.
• Sowing Method: Directly sow seeds in the garden bed or start in trays.
• Sowing Depth: Scatter seeds lightly and cover with a thin layer of soil.
• Spacing: Keep 30–40 cm between plants for healthy growth.

Care Instructions
