Frilly pinkish-blushed blooms frolic atop this whimsical cosmos. As the summer progresses, these dwarf charmers prolifically produce candy-striped and snow-capped semi-double flowers with abundant glee that rise above bushy bundles of feathery foliage.

A long seasonal, easy-to-grow annual, Cosmos bipinnatus ‘Cosimo Collarette’ continues to lift spirits well into autumn with staunch cut-flower potential.

How to care for Cosmos bipinnatus Cosimo Collarette (Cosimo Series):

Pot on and grow on under glass until all risk of frost has passed and they can be planted outside in a well-prepared bed.

Pinch out the growing tips to encourage bushier growth, and feed at regular intervals throughout summer with a high-potash fertiliser.

Taller plants may need supporting with brushwood stems in exposed positions.
