How to Grow Cosmos Mix from Seeds: 

1. Timing:  Sow Cosmos Mix seeds directly into the garden after the danger of frost has passed in spring. Cosmos seeds germinate best in warm soil temperatures.

2. Soil Preparation:  Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil. Cosmos tolerates a wide range of soil types but thrives in moderately fertile, loamy soil.

3. Sowing Seeds:  Scatter Cosmos Mix seeds over the soil surface, aiming for even distribution. Lightly press the seeds into the soil or rake them in gently to ensure good seed-to-soil contact.

4. Moisture:  Water the soil lightly after sowing to settle the seeds in place. Keep the soil consistently moist until the seeds germinate, which usually takes about 7-10 days.

5. Thinning:  Once the seedlings emerge and develop their first set of true leaves, thin them to about 12-18 inches apart to give them room to grow and reduce competition for resources.

6. Care:  Cosmos plants are relatively low-maintenance once established. Water them regularly, especially during dry spells, but avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot. Deadhead spent flowers to prolong blooming and prevent self-seeding.

7. Winter Care:  In regions with mild winters, Cosmos may self-seed and return the following year. In colder climates, it's treated as an annual. Consider leaving some spent flowers on the plants to allow them to self-seed for the following year.

By following these simple steps, you can grow a vibrant and beautiful display of Cosmos flowers from seeds, adding color and charm to your garden throughout the growing season.
