Cotton Planting Information:

One of the easiest specialty plants to grow. Kids will love growing them. Cotton does best in warm weather regions. Plant your seeds indoors for school projects 4 to 6 weeks before setting in the garden. When seedlings are 4" to 6" tall, transplant them into larger pots so roots can grow properly. Plant directly in the spring garden when the night temperature is above 50 degrees. Plants can grow 4 ft tall.

Soil Requirements:

Requires fertile soil in a well-drained location in the garden. Apply mulch, grass clippings, or straw around the base of the plant.

Water Requirements:

Water during dry and hot spells.

Fertilizer Requirements:

Use Slow Release (6 Month) Fertilizer when transplanting outdoors. Periodically apply Miracle-Gro Liquid Fertilizer.

Harvest Tips:

Hand remove cotton from the plant when the cotton pods open.

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)
