200 Apricotta Cosmos Seeds - Peach Apricot Cosmos Bipinnatus Flower Seeds for Planting
Apricotta Cosmos is a beautiful annual flower prized for its soft peach and apricot blooms that bring a warm, sunset-like glow to garden beds and borders. Each flower blends shades of apricot, peach, and light orange with subtle pink tones, creating a lovely pastel display throughout the summer season. These cosmos flowers rise on slender stems above finely cut, feathery green foliage, giving the garden an airy, natural texture.
Apricotta Cosmos is a favorite for cut flower gardens, cottage-style borders, meadow plantings, and pollinator-friendly landscapes. The open blooms attract bees and butterflies, and the long stems make them excellent for fresh bouquets. Cosmos bipinnatus is easy to grow from seed and rewards gardeners with abundant blooms from midsummer into fall.

Planting & Care
Sow Apricotta Cosmos seeds directly outdoors after the last frost date, or start them indoors a few weeks earlier for a head start. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface and keep them moist until germination. Cosmos generally germinates best in warm soil with consistent moisture. Once seedlings are established, thin them to the recommended spacing so plants have room to branch and bloom.
Cosmos performs best in full sun and well-drained soil. Water regularly during establishment, then reduce watering as plants mature, since cosmos tolerates drier conditions and may produce fewer blooms in overly rich or wet soil. Deadheading spent flowers encourages continued blooming through the season. Taller plants may benefit from light staking in windy locations.
