Cosmos (mixed colours)
Large violet coloured, pink and white flowers grow from finely ramified, very vigorous and branching plants. Removing spent blooms will considerably increase the flowering period. Ready to cut when the first flowers have opened. Old cottage garden plant and favourite cut flower for summer arrangements.
