COSMOS bipinnatus Sensation Daydream
Family: Asteraceae
Characteristics: Annual 90 cm
Seed per packet: Approx. 80
Seed per gram: Approx. 160
Cosmos Sensation Daydream is a superb pale pink with a deep pink centre. Its semi-dwarf habit makes this a unique and delicate addition to Cosmos. It is very early flowering, and though the flowers are slightly smaller, they are freely produced over a long period.
It is excellent for cutting or bedding or an attractive pot plant for summer. They look great when planted in meadows and cottage gardens.
Cosmos makes excellent cut flowers with a vase life of 5-7 days. Harvest the blooms in the early morning, selecting stems with just-opened flowers.
An excellent choice for low-maintenance gardens, these colourful bedding plants are great for cutting flowers and adding vibrant colour to any spring or summer garden.
Cosmos are a popular garden plant with many cultivars bred in every shade and colour.
As with all Cosmos, they thrive on neglect and reseed themselves easily, making them a great choice for wildflower meadows or naturalised areas.
Cosmos bipinnatus is native to Mexico, Guatemala and Costa Rica.
