Description

The darkest, richest textured and coloured cosmos together in one collection. Enjoy picking hundreds of vasefuls from late June until at least October.

Cosmos are stacked full with nectar and pollen – bees and butterflies love them. They are also very easy to grow, so are perfect for beginners.

This collection contains a mixed packet of seed, 5 or 10 seedlings, or 5 or 10 jumbo seedlings or 6 x 9cm pots each of:
  • Cosmos bipinnatus 'Dazzler'
  • Cosmos bipinnatus 'Rubenza'

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.
