100 Picotee Cosmos Seeds – Pink & White Flowers, Pollinator Friendly

Picotee Cosmos is a charming annual wildflower known for its bicolor blooms, where soft pink petals are edged in white for a delicate, picotee effect. These daisy-like flowers rise above finely cut, feathery green foliage and bring an airy, cottage-garden feel to beds, borders, and meadow plantings. The open blooms are highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, making this cosmos a useful choice for pollinator-friendly gardens.

Easy to grow from seed, Picotee Cosmos performs well in full sun and tolerates poor to average soil. Plants bloom through summer into fall, providing weeks of color and excellent cut flowers for casual bouquets. Whether direct-sown in a wildflower patch or started indoors for earlier blooms, this cosmos offers a relaxed, natural look with minimal fuss.

Planting & Care

Sow Picotee Cosmos seeds directly outdoors after the last frost date, or start them indoors 4–6 weeks before transplanting. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface and keep moist until germination; light aids germination, so do not cover deeply. Thin or space seedlings 12–18 inches apart to encourage good air circulation. Water regularly during establishment, then allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Deadhead spent blooms to prolong flowering and prevent unwanted self-seeding.
