{"product_id":"cosmos-seeds","title":"Cosmos Seeds — Mixed Colours","description":"\u003cp\u003eCosmos are the wildflowers of the South African summer — and for good reason. Feathery foliage, daisy-like blooms in every shade from white and blush to deep magenta, and an effortless, self-seeding nature that means once you plant them, they come back year after year. They're the flower that makes a garden look like it grew itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur mixed cosmos seed packet contains a beautiful range of colours, from the palest shell pink to rich crimson. Scatter them in a sunny border, grow them in a cutting patch, or let them naturalise along a fence line. They ask for very little and give back abundantly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy You'll Love Growing Cosmos\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEffortless grower:\u003c\/strong\u003e Direct sow and stand back — cosmos thrive on neglect\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSelf-seeding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Let a few go to seed and they'll return next season\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProlific bloomer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flowers from summer through to autumn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePollinator magnet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bees and butterflies love them\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuperb cut flower:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long stems, long vase life, beautiful in arrangements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNon-GMO heirloom mix:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5g packet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Guide\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeason:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sow from September through to January\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePosition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun; tolerates poor, dry soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSowing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Direct sow on the surface and lightly rake in; thin to 30–45cm apart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWatering:\u003c\/strong\u003e Minimal once established — overwatering reduces flowering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cut when buds are just opening for the longest vase life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eWant to grow the most beautiful cosmos display?
