I was given several Cosmos seeds from a friend who has an abundance of Cosmos growing in her back yard. Does anyone have any advice regarding the planting?
Thanks!

Cosmos are one of the easiest plants to sow from seed. Basically, you can just scatter the seeds in a sunny location and water them in (work the soil up a bit first to ensure good soil contact). Germination is fast, about 7 days. However, the seedlings are frost tender so best to sow after danger of frost has passed (or sow indoors). Cosmos will also self-seed which is a nice bonus imo.

HTH!
