Establishment & Management

Growing Cosmos Sensation Mix

Cosmos establishes readily from seed and performs best in sunny locations with well-drained soil.

Site Selection

Full sun is preferred for strong flowering and sturdy growth. Select an open site with good soil drainage.

Planting

Direct seed after danger of frost has passed and soil has warmed. Cover the seed lightly rather than planting it deeply.

Fertility

Cosmos does not require highly fertile soil. Excessive fertility can encourage heavy vegetative growth at the expense of flowering.

Tall Growth

Sensation Mix is a tall cosmos. In exposed or windy locations, plants may benefit from protection or support as they reach mature height.

Classic Tall Cosmos

Large Flowers Above Fine, Airy Foliage

Sensation Mix is valued for the contrast between its finely divided foliage and large, colorful single flowers. Plants develop an open, airy canopy that adds height without creating a heavy appearance, making the mix particularly effective in meadow plantings, informal landscapes and cut-flower areas.
