Double Cosmos, Sensation Mixed 

Cosmos 
Our plant breeders have developed strains of 
Cosmos which are so early that they will bloom 
from seed sown in the open ground. Prior to the 
introduction of these new strains, many people 
who wanted Cosmos would not try to grow them 
because the flowers bloomed too late. If you want 
an extra early start, the seed may be sownindoors 
and transplanted into the garden later. CULTURE
