Double Cosmos

    Double Cosmos  

Here is a delight I discovered, a variety of double flowering cosmos.

Flower
Half Hardy Annual
Flowers: Summer to Autumn
Height: 40 inches
Position: Full Sun
Ideal For: Border, Cottage Garden
Description

The best quality, award winning, double and semi double mixed Cosmos ever! A colourful blend, including rosy-red, white and pink shades. Ideal planted in small drifts, adding height and colour to cottage and annual borders. Height: 90-100cm (36-40 inches).

Sowing Instructions
 
Sow March to May on the surface of a good free draining, damp seed compost. Cover with a very fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. Place in a propagator or seal container inside a polythene bag and place at 20-25C (68-77F) until after germination which usually takes 7-14 days. Do not exclude light as this helps germination.
Growing Instructions

Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle into trays or 7.5cm (3in) pots. Gradually acclimatise plants to cooler conditions for a few weeks before planting out after all risk of frost, 45cm (18in) apart.

Aftercare Instructions

Prefers a sunny position in light, well-drained soil.
