Early to flower and a well-branched plant, Antiquity is the only cosmos on the market with flowers in shades of salmon pink. It displays up to 20 – 7 cm flowers on the same plant, thus creating a wonderful bouquet. As with all very floriferous plants, cut all dead flowers after flowering, this will help plants produce new flower buds.

Cultivation mode
Plantation : Sowing : It is suggested to sow 4 weeks indoors before planting outdoors or sow directly outdoors after the last ground frosts. Keep the temperature between 16-18 °C. Germination time is between 5-7 days.
Soil : Indoor: A well-drained, porous sowing media is best to prevent overwatering. Outdoor: Dry soil.
Culturals practices : Step 1: plow the soil about 30 cm (12 inches). Add an equal part of potting soil and mix well. Dig a hole approximately the same length as the container and about 1 ½ to 3 times the width. Step 2: slightly squeeze the container, tap out the plant, and delicately free the roots. If the roots are too dense, liberate the fibers by inserting a knife or a transplanter. Separate the roots carefully, then place in the hole.* Good to know: Use an organic bone meal or a «soil activator» when transplanting to stimulate root development. Follow the instructions for use on the package. Fill up the hole with garden soil. Slightly press the soil around the base of the plant to favor the contact between the roots and the soil. Water regularly every 2 or 3 days until the soil is well compacted.Note: It should be planted in full sun in normal soil, but can grow in sandy soil. It is best to shelter it from the wind, as the stems tilt and are fragile. We often have to use tutors.
