Garden Cosmos 'Gazebo mixed'

A full sun position will ensure your plant thrives and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Gazebo mixed is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. A soil ph of between 6.6 and 7.8 is ideal for Gazebo mixed as it does best in weakly acidic soil - weakly alkaline soil.

Sow 0.25 inches (0.64 cm) deep with a guideline distance of 0.98 inches (2.5 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 20°C / 68°F to ensure good germination.

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

As Gazebo mixed is tender, ensure temperatures are mild enough to plant out - wait until after your last frost date to be on the safe side.

The botanical epithet is from the Latin bipinnatus meaning “staunch” or “like two small wings”.¹
