Cosmos, Xanthos

Annual. Brand new in Cosmos! “Xanthos” means “yellow” in Greek, and this one comes in a focused range of pale ivory to soft butter-yellow tones. Single flowers are very large and elegant. Dwarf plants are early and productive. These are equally valuable in containers, on porches and patios, or cut. No wonder it won a Fleuroselect medal!
