Cosmos bipinnatus ‘Rubenza’ will be one of the best bloomers in the border! Bursting with spirit, this half-hardy annual will passionately flower its heart out throughout the summer and into early autumn, sat atop oodles of attractive feathery foliage. Deep red, saucer-like, blooms, sway in the summer breeze, flashing their adorable yellow centres at passing birds, bees and butterflies. The daisy-like ruby red blooms of Cosmos bipinnatus ‘Rubenza’ look great when cut for a kitchen display. Collect them in the morning, before the blooms open and they could last up to ten days in the vase. Incredibly, the more you deadhead the plant, the more the blooms magically appear. We absolutely love mass planting these for the fullest, brightest display possible. Cosmos grow in most ordinary garden soil, just ensure the area is well-drained and in a sunny position. Plants grow to a height of 75cm with a spread of 50cm.
