Cosmos, Sea Shells

Annual. Here’s something unusual for cottage gardens or cut flowers! The unique blooms of this charming cosmos are tubular or cone-shaped rather than flat, giving them an intricate appearance. Three-inch flowers are produced abundantly all summer until frost in the usual cosmos shades of deep rose, shell pink and pure, snowy white. Plants reach 3-4 feet. Like most cosmos, it tolerates poor soil as well as dry and hot conditions.
