One of the easiest specialty plants to grow. Kids will love growing them. Cotton does best in warm weather regions. For school projects, plant your seeds indoors 4 to 6 weeks before setting in garden. When seedlings are 4" to 6" tall, transplant them into larger pots so roots can grow properly. Plant directly in the garden in spring when night time temperature are above 50 degrees. Plants can grow 4 ft tall.
Requires rich fertile soil in a well drained location in the garden. Apply much and grass clippings, or straw around base of plant.
Water during dry and hot spells.
Use RootBlast, Vegetable Alive, and Slow Release Fertilizer when transplanting outdoors. Periodically apply Miracle Gro.
Hand remove cotton from plant when cotton pods opens.

Wow - this cotton is such a beautiful brown. When our 4-year old brought some in the house I was amazed at the beautiful color. With green-cotton (which we also grow), it seems to be half-white/half-green, but with the brown cotton it was mostly brown, and so beautiful! (though I recommend growing some of both because the green cotton seemed more productive for us earlier in the season)
