Candystripe Cosmos Seeds

Fill your flower garden with whimsy by sowing Candystripe Cosmos! Stunning colors on one of the easiest of all flowers to grow. This is one of the best for cut flowers. We grow them in thick clusters by direct sowing them once any danger of frost has past.

One of the best choice for pollinator gardens. Flocks of pollinators, from bees to tiny pollinating wasps and butterflies will answer the call of Cosmos flower. The frilly foliage is also attractive to beneficial insects such as the ladybug.

Cosmos are trouble free with very few pests or diseases. Select stems with flowers that just opened first thing in the morning. Mass plantings are stunning and will attract butterflies.
