Description

Like a bag of sugared almonds, both growing in a pair of pots in our Dutch Yard, and filling a corner of our cutting garden, this quartet of cosmos reigned supreme in our trials last summer. I loved picking them for my favourite jade vase (as pictured).

This collection contains 1 packet (30 seeds) each of:
  • Cosmos bipinnatus 'Xanthos'
  • Cosmos bipinnatus 'Apricotta'
  • Cosmos bipinnatus 'Candy Stripe'
  • Cosmos bipinnatus 'Fizzy Rose Picotee'

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.
