How to grow
Start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before your last frost date. Place in a warm area to germinate. Plant outdoors once chances of frost have passed. Seeds can also be direct sowed in the garden. Cosmos can tolerate some cool weather. Pinch plants once they've reached 12 inches to encourage branching for more blooms.

How to harvest
Harvest when buds are just cracking and haven't fully opened as flowers will continue to open in the vase.
