Sow seeds on the surface of moist seed-raising mix and cover lightly. Transplant seedlings to 30–45 cm apart in a sunny, open position with well-drained soil. Cosmos thrives in poor to average soils — avoid overfeeding which encourages lush foliage at the expense of flowers. Deadhead regularly to extend flowering from summer right through to autumn. Performs beautifully throughout NZ in any warm, sunny position.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the Packet\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach packet contains \u003cstrong\u003e5 seeds\u003c\/strong\u003e of Cosmos bipinnatus 'Apricotta'.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chbotanics Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45034803757125,"sku":null,"price":4.5,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/2974\/5733\/files\/il_300x300.5744577419_hbtj.jpg?v=1780795357","url":"https:\/\/chbotanics.co.nz\/products\/cosmos-bipinnatus-apricotta-seeds","provider":"Chbotanics Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
