Description

There are few nicer ways of filling vases throughout summer and autumn than with a cloud of cosmos. As long as you don’t cut the plants right to the ground, but above a pair of leaves, more buds will form to fill next week’s vases and more for the week after that — and on and on it goes — your ever-filling vase.

This collection contains a mixed packet, or 5 or 10 seedlings of:
  • Cosmos bipinnatus 'Candy Stripe'
  • Cosmos bipinnatus 'Purity'
  • Cosmos bipinnatus 'Seashells Mixed'
  • Cosmos bipinnatus 'Xsenia'

Care Tips

Pinch out tips at 15-20cm to encourage bushier plants. Stake and tie Cosmos plants if necessary during the growing season, water regularly and dead-head to prolong the flowering season.
