Cosmos - Apricotta (3.5" pot)
Annual. Large, 3” blooms shimmer over a swath of ferny foliage from early summer until fall. Multi-coloured petals have irregular edges for an informal and whimsical look. ‘Apricotta’ makes beautiful, long-stemmed cut flowers, adding a touch of elegance to garden borders and beds.
Cosmos attract bees, butterflies and birds. The plants are self-seeding, but not invasive, and are not prone to pests or disease. They tolerate heat, drought and will grow in even the poorest soil conditions, provided that there is good drainage. This is a truly low-maintenance plant. Avoid too much fertilizer, as this can lead to lush foliage and few blooms.
