Garden Cosmos 'Versailles Tetra'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Versailles Tetra is thought of as half hardy, so it will need protecting in periods of cold weather. Try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 6.0 and 8.5 as Versailles Tetra likes to be in weakly acidic soil - weakly alkaline soil.

Aim to sow 0.0 inches (0.0 cm) deep and try to ensure a gap of at least 5.85 inches (15.0 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 20°C / 68°F to ensure good germination.

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

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Versailles Tetra is a half hardy plant.

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