Cosmos - Double Click Rose Bonbon

Start indoors in seedling soil from March to April, and cover the sowing with transparent covering with air holes. When the seeds have germinated, keep the seedlings cool and in as much light as possible for the best results. To encourage abundant and beautiful blooms, the plants should be topped or pinched to stimulate the production of more side shoots, resulting in more buds and flowers. Our tip is to top/pinch the plant just above the second or third pair of leaves.

The seedlings should be transplanted outside once they have hardened off and the risk of frost has passed. Choose a sunny location for the most abundant flowering, although the plant can also grow in partial shade. Rosenskära thrives in rich, sandy soil without too much nutrients. If it receives too much fertilizer, it will develop an abundance of leaves but unfortunately very few flowers.

(This variety can also be sown directly in the ground when the soil has warmed up, but will have slightly later blooming.)

Can also be sown in the fall for bloom the following year. Sow directly in the soil before the frost comes.
