Cosmos bipinnatus
A romantic, large and long-flowering beauty. Unlike her 'older' sister "Double Dutch White" is she a new variety.
She flowers in abundance and her half- to fully filled blooms shine in the most wonderful shade of a darker blush pink.
She's happy in a pot, copes well with soil that's not quite so rich in nutrients and will brighten up your garden all the way to the first frost.
Height: 90cm (35") to 120cm (47")
Hardiness: Annual plants
Where: Full sun
When: February to April inside, April to May outside.
Spacing: 30cm (12")
Harvesting/Flowering: June till the first frost.
Tip: If you remove wilted blooms, they will flower even more!
