Cosmos plants are popular annuals or perennials, originating from Mexico and Central America. They are perfect for bringing a graceful and colourful presence to borders and containers alike. Cosmos Bipinnatus ‘Velouette’, an outstanding member of our collection, produces large daisy-like flowers in rich crimson-red with crisp white edging and delicate, feathered foliage. The dramatic bicolour blooms sway elegantly on tall stems from summer through to autumn, adding movement and cottage garden charm to planting displays. Growing to over 1m tall, they are excellent for cut flowers.
Thriving in moist, well-drained soil in a very sunny, sheltered position, Cosmos perform best with regular deadheading to encourage continuous flowering. Water during prolonged dry spells and avoid overly rich soil to maintain sturdy growth. Pair with salvias or verbena for an amazing summer display. Ideal for borders, cutting gardens and patio containers.
Supplied in approx. 1 litre containers.
