1. Choose a Planting Location:
Cosmos need full sun 🌞. Choose a location with well-drained, moderately fertile soil.

2. Prepare the Soil:
Cosmos prefer slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH 6.0-7.5) 🌾. Amend the soil with compost for added fertility.

3. Planting Instructions:
Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep and space them 12-18 inches apart 🌍. If planting in rows, leave 24-36 inches between rows.

4. Watering Requirements:
Cosmos need regular watering 💧. Water deeply, but allow the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot.

5. Germination Time:
Cosmos seeds typically germinate in 7-10 days ⏳.

6. Ongoing Care:
Deadhead spent blooms regularly to encourage more flowers 🌼. Cosmos are relatively low-maintenance once established.
