Cosmos 'Apricotta'

Cosmos bipinnatus

Do NOT confuse this variety with 'Apricot Lemonade' which is shorter and less vigorous. Apricotta is incredibly prolific: strong, tall stems and vigorous-blooming, densely-branching plants. It also has thee most stunning colors: blush, pale apricot, and rose, with the slightest occasional dusty lavender. 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.
