Cosmos 'Cupcakes Blush'

Cosmos bipinnatus

Blooms resemble cupcake wrappers and they are just the cutest! These remind me of cupcake dolls from the 90s :) Some blooms have tufted centers as well. I adore cosmos, but not all are created equal when it comes to cut flowers. The varieties we've selected are my top favorites.

Wildly popular in floral design, stunning in the garden, beloved by the pollinators: Cosmos are easy to grow and incredibly prolific. Trust us: You garden will thank you. 

Packet contains approximately 50 seeds.

How to Grow

Sow indoors 5–7 weeks before transplanting out. Cover lightly. Cosmos may also be direct seeded once soil temperature is above 60°F. Pinching encourages branching. Wider plant spacing creates stronger, thicker stems.

Harvest when petals are just opening, but not yet flattened. Deadheading prolongs bloom period. Expected vase life: 5–7 days.
