Description
FAST BLOOMS IN 50–60 DAYS, GERMINATES IN 7–21 DAYS — These Dwarf Lemon Cosmos seeds sprout in just 7–21 days at 65–75°F (18–24°C) with reliable germination. Direct sow after last frost in full sun, and expect bright lemon-yellow blooms within 50–60 days — one of the fastest cosmos varieties for warm-season color.
COMPACT PLANT HABIT – 12–24" TALL & WIDE — Dwarf Cosmos sulphureus grows into a tidy, branching plant 12–24 inches tall with a 12–24 inch spread. No staking needed. Space plants 9–12 inches apart for dense, bushy growth in borders, edging, and mass plantings without overcrowding.
PERFECT FOR CONTAINERS – KNOW YOUR SIZE — For container gardening, use pots at least 8–10 inches deep and 10–12 inches wide per plant. These compact cosmos thrive in balcony planters, patio pots, and window boxes, producing continuous 2–3 inch lemon-yellow blooms from summer through frost.
POLLINATOR FRIENDLY – ATTRACTS BEES & BUTTERFLIES — Bright yellow blooms from Cosmos sulphureus 'Dwarf Lemon' draw bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects throughout the growing season. A natural fit for pollinator gardens, wildlife habitats, and mixed border plantings across USDA Zones 2–11.
HEAT & DROUGHT TOLERANT ONCE ESTABLISHED — These cosmos seeds thrive in full sun and warm conditions (growing best at 65–85°F / 18–29°C). Drought tolerant once established, they perform well in low-fertility soils, xeriscapes, and low-maintenance beds — minimal watering needed after the first few weeks.
SOFT LEMON-YELLOW COLOR – NATURAL VARIATION EXPECTED — Blooms are consistently soft lemon-yellow, with 2–3 inch single flowers that add a delicate, cheerful tone to any garden. As with all open-pollinated varieties, 5–10% of plants may show deeper golden-yellow or cream-toned shades — natural variation, not a defect.
2 PACKS, 300 SEEDS EACH – OPEN-POLLINATED & NON-GMO — Each order includes 2 seed envelopes (2.2g each / 300 seeds per pack), covering approximately 15.5 sq. ft. per envelope. Open-pollinated Cosmos sulphureus seeds produce true-to-type plants — save seeds each season to replant year after year.
Bring effortless warm-season color to any sunny space with HOME GROWN Dwarf Lemon Cosmos Seeds — a compact, fast-blooming annual that thrives from containers to garden beds across USDA Zones 2–11. Each order includes 2 seed envelopes (300 seeds each / 2.2g per pack), with each envelope covering approximately 15.5 sq. ft. of garden space. Fast to Germinate, Faster to Bloom Seeds germinate in 7–21 days when soil temperatures reach 65–75°F (18–24°C). Direct sow after your last frost date in well-drained soil, lightly covering seeds no deeper than ¼ inch. Within 50–60 days, compact plants begin producing a steady flush of 2–3 inch lemon-yellow blooms that continue nonstop from summer through the first frost. A Compact Cosmos Built for Small Spaces Cosmos sulphureus 'Dwarf Lemon' grows 12–24 inches tall with a matching 12–24 inch spread — tidy and self-supporting with no staking required. Space plants 9–12 inches apart for a full, bushy look. For container growing, use pots at least 8–10 inches deep to give roots room to establish. Works beautifully in patio planters, window boxes, raised beds, border edging, and mass plantings. Soft Yellow Color with Natural Character Blooms are consistently soft lemon-yellow — bright enough to stand out, delicate enough to complement mixed plantings. As with all open-pollinated varieties, 5–10% of plants may display deeper golden-yellow or pale cream tones, and some blooms may lighten slightly as they age. This is natural variation inherent to the variety, not a quality issue. Low Maintenance, High Resilience Once established, these cosmos are heat tolerant, drought tolerant, and thrive in average to low-fertility soils. Avoid overly rich soil — it encourages foliage over flowers. Deadhead spent blooms regularly to extend the flowering season and keep plants looking their best through frost. Open-Pollinated – Save Seeds Year After Year These non-GMO, open-pollinated cosmos seeds produce true-to-type offspring each season. Collect seeds from your strongest plants at the end of the season and replant the following year — a sustainable, cost-effective approach to gardening that rewards consistency. Whether you're filling a sunny container on a balcony, edging a pollinator border, or creating a low-maintenance mass planting, HOME GROWN Dwarf Lemon Cosmos deliver reliable results with minimal effort.
