Fruity hued, romantic cottage garden favourites Designed for the vase as well as for the garden Cosmos bipinnatus ‘Apricotta’ offers magical peachy toned flowers, often with a rich raspberry interior to frame the golden stamen. This exciting new colourway is delicious looking, as the name implies, and plants flower enthusiastically from June to October on strong stems which make plants up to 90cm tall, with a spread of up to 50cm. Foliage is bushy, generous, yet delicate, and forms fern-like frothy mounds from March through to the first frosts. Blooms are both pollinator and wildlife friendly with built-in drought tolerance once a good root structure has established. Cosmos bipinnatus ‘Apricotta’ prefers a spot in well-drained soil of any type which benefits from full sun. A half-hardy annual which will give a vigorous and dramatic display for one year and should be composted down at the end of the season, don’t forget to save any required seed for the following years crop.
