This Cosmos bipinnatus variety brings a light, airy texture to garden beds, borders, and cutting gardens, with fine, fern-like foliage that adds movement and softness to the landscape. The daisy-like flowers open above tall, slender stems and are well suited to cottage-style plantings, meadow areas, and pollinator-friendly gardens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCosmos is a favorite among gardeners for its easygoing nature and long bloom period. The flowers attract bees and butterflies and make excellent cut flowers for casual bouquets. Because the plants are tall and open in habit, they work well toward the middle or back of a border, where their delicate blooms can be seen swaying in the breeze.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePlant Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBicolor pink and white daisy-like blooms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFine, fern-like green foliage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTall, airy growth habit suited to borders and cutting gardens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttracts pollinators such as bees and butterflies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLong-lasting flowers that are excellent for fresh arrangements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cosmos bipinnatus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Annual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSunlight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Average, well-drained soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate; tolerates some dryness once established\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright, branching stems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Summer to fall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Space plants about 12 to 18 inches apart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePlanting \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSow cosmos seeds directly outdoors after the last frost date, or start them indoors a few weeks earlier for a head start. Press the seeds lightly into the soil surface and keep them moist until germination, as light helps support sprouting. Thin or transplant seedlings so they have room to branch and develop strong stems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce established, cosmos plants are relatively low maintenance. Water during dry spells, especially while plants are young, and avoid overly rich soil, which can encourage excessive foliage at the expense of flowers. Deadheading spent blooms encourages continued flowering through the season. Tall plants may benefit from light staking in windy, exposed locations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis listing includes 200 Apollo Lovesong Cosmos seeds for planting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67795505840438,"sku":"FOLIA2-115","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7288184795_q5xu.jpg?v=1792670754","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/200-apollo-lovesong-cosmos-seeds-pink-white-cosmos-bipinnatus-flower-garden","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
