Cosmos "Gazebo" (mix)
Garden cosmos "Gazebo" (mix) - Cosmos bipinnatus.
Large inflorescences with early flowering.
Unpretentious and popular annual. The mixture includes plants with large chamomile-shaped inflorescences of various colors, up to 60 cm high.
Used in flowerbeds, borders, in groups on the lawn, and also for cutting. Sowing for seedlings or in a permanent place. The culture is photophilous, cold-resistant. Placed on loose, moderately fertilized soils. For abundant flowering, faded inflorescences should be removed.
Sowing: May.
Transplant: June (1).
Flowering: June (3) - September.
Location: plants are photophilous, cold-resistant.
Soil: undemanding to the soil, but grow better on loose and nutrient-rich soil.
Care: timely and regular watering, withered inflorescences are removed immediately - this stimulates the formation of new buds. Tall varieties are tied to stakes driven into the soil. On nutrient-rich soils, fertilize every 6-8 weeks, and on poor soils every 3-4 weeks with a solution of complete mineral fertilizer.
Propagation: by seeds. Sowing is done in April in open ground or cold greenhouses. Sow for seedlings from March to mid-April. Just press the seeds into the substrate, without sprinkling them with soil on top, since they need light to germinate. At a temperature of +15+18 °C, shoots appear in 1-2 weeks. Seedlings are planted in place in May at a distance of 30-35 cm. They tolerate transplanting well.
Use: recommended for large groups near fences and walls, rarely for cutting.
Partners: combines with variegated annuals that match the color scheme (verbena, Turkish carnation, phlox), as well as with chamomile, marigolds and dimorphotheca. A silvery-white duet of biennial giant eryngium and white-flowered cosmos is good.
