Description

These will grow well in a sunny corner of your garden, and you will be able to pick hundreds of vasefuls from July until at least October.

Cosmos are stacked with nectar and pollen – bees and butterflies love them. They are also very easy to grow, and produce more bunches per square metre than any other plant I know.

Our seed packet contains a mix of the following varieties:
  • Cosmos bipinnatus 'Purity'
  • Cosmos bipinnatus 'Sensation Pinkie'
  • Cosmos bipinnatus 'Fizzy Rose Picotee'
  • Cosmos bipinnatus 'Gloria'
The seedling collection contains 5 or 10 seedlings, and the jumbo seedling collection contains 5 jumbo seedlings each of:
  • Cosmos bipinnatus 'Purity'
  • Cosmos bipinnatus 'Sensation Pinkie'
  • Cosmos bipinnatus 'Gloria'
  • Cosmos bipinnatus 'Fizzy Rose Picotee'

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.
