Perfect for anyone looking to create a lively, colourful garden that’s both beautiful and easy to care for, the Cosmos bipinnatus ‘Sonata Mix’ is a vibrant and colourful blend of blooms. Commonly known as the Mexican Aster and bursting with charisma, these half-hardy annuals are prized for producing an abundance of bright and cheerful blooms in a variety of shades. Sitting atop lush, attractive, feathery foliage, the saucer-like blooms sway on strong stems in the summer breeze. Flowering through to the autumn, they attract passing bees and butterflies while giving a light, airy touch to flower beds, borders, and containers. Cosmos bipinnatus ‘Sonata Mix’ thrives in full sun and well-draining soil, and is drought-tolerant once established, making it a low-maintenance choice for all gardeners, of all levels of expertise. Plant Cosmos ‘en masse’ for the fullest, brightest display possible.
