Few plants grow as rapidly as cosmos and, fewer still, offer such graceful flowers. This All American Award winner produced 5" (12cm) single daisy-like flowers in white, pink and red. Foliage is delicate, feathery green. Useful as a background, border of pots and as cut flowers.
Plant: Sow seeds in a sunny area after all danger of frost is past. For an earlier start, sow seed indoors 3-4 weeks before the last frost. Lightly cover seeds and keep evenly moist.
Care: Plants flower earlier and more freely if soil is fairly dry and not particularly fertile. Plants are heat resistant, easy to grow and will tolerate crowding.
Tip: Plants may require staking if planting site is especially windy.
