Designed for the vase as well as for the garden – The ‘Gracious Cosmos bipinnatus Collection’ offers a quintet of daisy-like blooms which will flower enthusiastically from June to October. This means your garden will produce up to five months of floriferous colour from both single and double blooms, with plenty for both for picking and for outdoors. Foliage is generous, yet delicate and creates fern-like frothy mounds from March through to the first frosts. Blooms are both pollinator and wildlife friendly with great drought tolerance once established. The ‘Gracious Cosmos bipinnatus Collection’ comprises ‘Apricotta’ – a new arrival with warming, fruity tones - H: 90cm S: 50cm; ‘Double Click Cranberries’ – with generous and rich burgundy blooms up to 7cm across - H: 1.2m S: 45cm; the pale primrose yellow and cream flowers of ‘Xanthos’ - H: 60cm S: 40cm; wistful white blooms from ‘Sensation Purity’, accented by yolk yellow centres - H: 1.2m S: 60cm; and ‘Double Click Bicolor Rose’ H: 90cm S: 50cm. All prefer moist, well-drained soil of any type in full sun. These are half-hardy annuals which will give a vigorous and dramatic display for one year and should be composted down at the end of the season. Seed can be collected ready for the following year.
