Cover seeds lightly, about ¼ inch deep, and keep the soil moist; seedlings usually appear in 7–10 days. Thin or transplant to 12–18 inches apart. For a longer display, sow a second batch 3–4 weeks later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Grow\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrow in full sun in well-drained soil; average to poor soil is ideal, as rich soil and heavy feeding produce tall, leafy plants with fewer flowers. Water moderately, especially while plants establish. Remove faded flowers regularly to keep the blooms coming, and stake taller plants in windy spots. For bouquets, cut stems when the flowers are just opening.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OrganicSeedsHub","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45705233498295,"sku":"PVN-JAN03-187","price":16.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/3335\/6471\/files\/freepik__vibrant-lavender-cosmos-flowers-in-full-bloom-unde__50102.png?v=1767438825","url":"https:\/\/organicseedshub.com\/products\/lavender-cosmos-seeds-cosmos-bipinnatus-soft-purple-annual-flowers-for-gardens","provider":"OrganicSeedsHub","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
