Flower seeds annual cosmia mixture 0.2

Cosmea, planted by the group, will make the lawn foam and playful throughout the summer to the very frost due to its delicate colors and thin dense stems (height 50-100 cm). The seeds of the plant can be planted on the site in early June in a slightly acidic moderately fertile soil with good drainage. An elegant coquette loves sunlight, but it gets dumb from the draft and wind. A huge plus of cosmea is its resistance to pests and diseases, only snails and slugs are dangerous.

You can sow cosmea into the ground in April - May, and to increase the rate of germination - to cover the flowerbed with non -woven material. To grow seedlings, it is enough to sow the flowers in the boxes in March and do not deepen in the ground. After 2 weeks, the first shoots will appear, which in May will be ready for transplanting to the flowerbed. The plant also provides independent sowing.

Cosmea needs three top dressing: before and after the start of the formation of buds, and once again - as soon as the plant begins to bloom. The flower does not like waterlogging, so it is important to provide it with moderate watering. You can also tie the stems so that the plant does not lose its decorativeness. The dried flowers should be regularly torn. If you wish, you can trim the plant. In general, it is unpretentious, stable to both high and low temperatures.

Flowering begins at the end of June and continues until the first frosts. It differs from ordinary cosmia with a fluffy inflorescence up to 12 cm in diameter. The color is bright, saturated. The stem is strong, long. The smell is thin, subtle. Thanks to breeders, plants with small inflorescences appeared that look more sophisticated.
