Cosmos, Sea Shells Mix
Cosmos bipinnatus
Price: $3.45
SKU: 10001321Sea Shells Cosmos is an annual that grows 3-4 feet tall, producing airy, fern-like foliage and unique, seashell-shaped petals. Unlike flat-petaled varieties, each bloom features tubular, gently rolled petals in shades of pink, rose, red, and white. This creates a soft ruffled look that stands out in beds, borders, and meadow plantings.
Plants thrive in full sun and tolerate dry, poor soils once established, perfect for low-maintenance gardens. They flower freely through summer until frost, typically beginning about 65 days from sowing.
Blooms reach about 3 inches across and are excellent for cut flower arrangements. The tall, branching plants draw in pollinators such as butterflies and hummingbirds, adding both movement and color to the garden.

Cosmos are easily grown from seed. They germinate quickly and can be sown directly into the ground with great success after the danger of frost is past. Barely cover the seed with soil as they need some light to germinate. Cosmos will self-seed if you don't deadhead them.
Cosmos will tolerate overcrowding but prefer spacing of at least 1 foot. They bloom in the summer into the fall, and prefer partially sunny and dry locations.
