Garden Cosmos 'Sensation Radiance'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Sensation Radiance is generally regarded as a tender plant, so remember to ensure that temperatures are mild before moving outdoors. Sensation Radiance needs a soil ph of 6.6 to 7.8 (weakly acidic soil - weakly alkaline soil).

Aim to sow 0.25 inches (0.64 cm) deep and try to ensure a gap of at least 0.98 inches (2.5 cm). For optimal germination, soil temperature should be a minimum of 20°C / 68°F.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Sensation Radiance about 28 days before your last frost date.

Sensation Radiance is tender, so ensure you wait until all danger of frost has passed in your area before considering planting outside.
