Garden care:
Pot on seedlings and grow on under glass. Once all risk of frost has passed these Cosmos can be planted outside in a well-prepared bed.
Pinch out the growing tips to encourage bushier growth, and feed at regular intervals throughout summer with a high-potash fertiliser. Taller plants may need supporting with brushwood stems in exposed positions.
