Cosmo Mix Seed Bundle
This is a great seed bundle for beginner sprouters. Play around with them! Try some seeds over here, some over there, start some inside, some outside, now, later, etc. Don't worry - we'll give you plenty! This mix has shades of pink, orange-pink, white, pinkish-white, yellowish-pink, whiteish-yellow, single blooms, double blooms, you get the idea.
Cosmos are agreeable little guys; sweet little bursts of color, bobbing on wispy stems with lacy leaves. They love the sun and heat, don't mind when you forget to water them, and push up new flowers every darn day. Wild, bushy growers, their moniker stands for the order and harmony of the universe, but we love their wild, care-free ways.
Includes four types of Cosmo seed tubes, individually packed in a little cotton bag: Cupcakes and Saucers Mix, Apricotta, Double Click Snow Puff, and Apricot Lemonade. Specific planting instructions are printed on each individual seed tube, but general instructions are below.
