At Fruition, we sow cosmos indoors in soil blocks 4 weeks before final frost to transplant after final frost, though you can easily direct sow cosmos after final frost, as well.

    Our pollinator friends went wild for this cosmos. I tried both indoor sowing as recommended in the guide and later in the season direct sowing – it reaches maturity really fast, and I think the direct sown ones would have grown to be as robust as the ones I started in soil blocks had I started them sooner before frosts started hitting. Regardless, it was a delight to see all the buzzing about these plants, and the seed is very easy to save 🙂
