[RHS](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/30717/cosmos-bipinnatus/details) ## Growing conditions Choose a sunny position with moderately fertile, moist but well-drained soil. The species tolerates ordinary garden conditions; avoid persistently waterlogged ground. Water during extended dry spells, especially while plants establish and during hot weather. The breeder lists spring through summer flowering and an upright habit for the Apollo selection. ## Maintenance Deadhead fading flowers to encourage continued bloom. Allow enough spacing for the listed mature spread, and water at the root zone during dry periods. Cosmos is an annual, so remove spent plants after the season or leave some flowers to mature if you want seed.
