How to care for Cosmos bipinnatus Cosimo Red-White (Cosimo Series):
Pot on seedlings and grow on under glass until all risk of frost has passed and they 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.
