Description

My favourite plant in our container trial last summer and autumn, flowering away in a pot outside my kitchen window. I picked from this every weekend to fill soft, gentle vases with long-lasting cut flowers. A must-have, new member of the supreme cosmos family.

Care Tips

Pinch out tips at 15-20cm (8in) 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.
