About this seed
Cosmos Sensation Mix is the classic cottage garden cosmos with large 10-15 cm daisy-like single blooms in a mix of deep crimson, pink, rose, and pristine white, all set against feathery, fern-like foliage that sways gracefully in the breeze. These tall, airy plants are incredibly easy to grow and bloom prolifically from summer right through to frost. They're absolute butterfly magnets and wonderful for creating a wildflower meadow effect. Cosmos are one of the most rewarding flowers for beginners - scatter the seeds, water occasionally, and step back.
