Cotton Plant Info Cotton (Gossypium spp) grows as a perennial shrub but is typically kept as an annual. Winter hardy in USDA Zones 8 to 11, cotton requires a long growing season of 120 to 180 days. Related to the beautiful hibiscus, cotton produces large, showy flowers in mid-summer, making it an attractive indoor container specimen. Cotton plants blossom continually for 3 to 5 weeks, with flowers each lasting about 2 or 3 days. The fluffy seed burst open when they're mature and the cotton is ready for harvest in September.   Germination Guide: 1. Work the soil to 3-4 inches deep. 2. After soil temperatures have warmed up to 60 degrees, its time to plant cotton seeds. 3. Plant cotton seeds in moist soil, in groups of three seeds, 1 inch deep and 6 inches apart. 4. Cotton seeds germinate in 7 to 10 days if soil temperatures are above 60 degrees Fahrenheit (16 degrees Celsius). 5. Cotton does not like a lot of water. So water once in about 7 days. Water more frequently in summer months if leaves show signs of drying. 6. Large yellow flowers appear in 45 days from sowing. Flowers wither off and form bolls. 7. Stop watering 16-18 weeks from sowing when bolls have been formed, so that the plant begins to dry and shed their leaves, and the bolls will split open to form a fluffy ball
