Leggy Cosmos Seedlings? Here’s the Easy Fix + A Spring Seedling Update // Cottoverdi

If your cosmos seedlings are looking tall, thin or floppy, don’t panic — in this video I’m sharing the simple way I deal with leggy cosmos seedlings, along with a few tips that help me grow stronger, healthier cosmos plants throughout the season. I’m also spending a gentle spring day in the garden checking on some of my other seedlings and cut flowers, including Orlaya, Sweet Rocket, sweet peas and my scented leaf Pelargonium ‘Maverick Appleblossom’. The garden is moving quickly now and it’s such an exciting time of year for seedlings, planting and watching everything begin to fill out.
