These seeds favor full sun and well-drained soil, and they perform well even in average garden soil. Outdoors, sow directly after the last frost; indoors, start 4–6 weeks before frost for an earlier splash of color. Cosmos thrive in roughly 6 hours of direct sun daily and benefit from consistent moisture until roots establish. Once established, they tend to be fairly drought-tolerant and respond well to light watering as the soil dries between waterings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Growing Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOutdoor sowing after the last frost; indoor start 4–6 weeks before frost.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFull sun and well-drained soil; tolerates average soil, avoid overly rich mixes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSeed-to-sprout typically in 7–21 days, with soil temperatures around 65–70°F.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpacing: thin or transplant to 12–18 inches apart for best airflow and flowering.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOngoing care supports a long, colorful display.
