Cosmos bipinnatus
Van Gogh would swoon!
Stunning and so easy to grow, each magenta-lined ivory blossom sways in even the slightest breeze. The plants themselves are elegant as well, their fern-like lime-green foliage often reaching four feet tall, blossoming from July all the way to frost. Her long stems make Double Take an ideal cut flower, as well! Butterflies float over the flowers all day as goldfinches lunch on her seeds. Cosmos seeds are easy to collect with plenty to share, so you’ll enjoy her for years if not generations to come!
