Bursting with vitality 'Kaleidoscopic Cosmos' offers wonderfully fluffy and fern-like foliage from March through to October. Daisy-like flowers are then held on strong, slender stems from July through to October, with warming hues which are ideal for a sunny border. Plant 'en masse' for a prairie meadow or as single colours to combine with shrubs and other bedding plants. 'Kaleidoscopic Cosmos Collection' is comprised of single and double half-hardy annuals which are set to enthusiastically flower their hearts out in vibrant and varied colours, each with a golden centre. Both 'Tango' and 'Rubenza' hold the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit. All of the flowers are great in a vase as well as in the garden - furthermore they are a much-appreciated source of nectar for the garden pollinators. 'Kaleidoscopic Cosmos Collection' is ideally planted in well-drained soil of any type in a site which enjoys full sun. Where possible provide protection from strong winds and avoid a north-facing aspect. S: 45-60cm.
