Cosmos Pastel Mix Seeds

Cosmos – Flower Seeds

Description
Cosmos are fast-growing, free-flowering annuals known for their airy foliage and daisy-like blooms in shades of pink, white, magenta, and burgundy. Blooming abundantly from summer through frost, Cosmos add height, movement, and a relaxed garden feel to beds and borders. Easy to grow and highly productive, they are excellent for cutting gardens, flower farms, and pollinator plantings. Loved by bees and butterflies, Cosmos thrive in a wide range of conditions and bloom more with frequent harvesting.

This mix can have single and double petaled Cosmos. There is also a possibility of discovering a new variety of Cosmos, or variegated color variations.
