Cosmos, Xsenia

Annual. 90 days. A stunning riff on one of our favorite pollinator flowers. Xsenia was awarded the prestigious Fleuroselect Novelty Award in 2018, specifically appreciated for its unique terra cotta orange-to-pink color that changes in an almost sepia effect as the flowers mature over the season. These dazzling flowers are a bit more refined in their presentation than other cosmos varieties. Compact plants reach just over 2 feet tall; the 2 ½ inch blooms have petals that are tightly whorled around their bright yellow eye.
