Cosmos, Rubinato

Annual. Super dwarf red cosmos! Here’s an outstanding addition to the Cosmos clan—award-winning color on compact plants! The color is the very best of the burgundy-magenta that makes cosmos so endearing in the summer garden—varying tones from medium to super-deep. The single blooms have wide petals; the overall effect is reminiscent of richly pleated silk. The 18-24" plants are compact, never lanky. Recently recognized with Europe’s Fleuroselect award. Spectacular!
