This plant is a natural at self-seeding, meaning its cheerful presence can return year after year – you only need to buy the seeds once!Beyond its garden benefits, the stunning orange flowers are also edible. They make a wonderful, peppery garnish, adding a splash of color and a unique flair to salads, cakes, and all sorts of dishes. The plant itself is a vigorous grower, reaching heights of up to 1.5 meters (around 5 feet) with lush, feathery foliage. This abundance of growth makes it perfect for “chop and drop” gardening; simply cut the plants back and lay the cuttings on your garden beds to create an instant, nutrient-rich mulch for your other edibles.Seed Details:Price: For 20 seeds, sustainably and naturally grown in my permaculture food forest in South East Queensland.Sowing & Growing Tips: For best results with the first generation of plants, we recommend starting the seeds in trays. Cosmos is an incredibly easy-to-grow plant that thrives in full sun and requires only moderate watering. While it is undemanding, richer soil will reward you with quicker growth and more prolific blooming. Good drainage is essential, as it does not like to have “wet feet.” A slightly raised garden bed or a well-drained spot is ideal.Please Note: While we strive for accuracy, we encourage you to do your own research before trying any new or unfamiliar foods.
