Cosmos - Rubinato (3.5" pot)
Annual. A dwarf variety, ‘Rubinato’ produces a punch of colour all season. Blooms open in deep, saturated shades of magenta that fade into a blend of lighter pink and red shades. Plants are compact, and never lanky, making them an excellent addition to mixed borders.
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.
Location: Mid-border, Landscape planting, Cottage garden
Bloom Period: June to September
Height: 18-24”
Plant Spacing: 12-15”
