Description

A perfect example of the soft, warm, cashmere jersey palette of peach and apricot (cosmos and calendula) stopped from being too cloying by the bobbing heads of velvet crimson scabious.

This collection contains 1 seed packet, 5 or 10 seedlings, or 3 x 9cm pots each of:
  • Scabiosa atropurpurea 'Black Cat'
  • Calendula officinalis 'Sunset Buff'
  • Cosmos bipinnatus 'Apricotta'

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.
