DamavandPro Cosmos Bipinnatus Seashells Mix Colour

From DamavandPro, Cosmos bipinnatus ‘Seashells Mix Colour’ brings a generous display of fully double, tufted blooms in a blended palette of white, pink, rose and crimson. Also known as Garden Cosmos or Mexican Aster, this annual flower forms bushy, branching plants with ferny foliage that sets off the distinctive flower heads, described as resembling seashells or pom-poms.

Growing to a mature height of 3–4 feet, it suits back borders where it can create multi-coloured clouds of flowers and act as an ideal backdrop for lower-growing plants. It’s also well suited to cutting gardens, with long-lasting stems for arrangements. Blooming from summer to frost, it will flower abundantly when deadheaded regularly. This variety prefers full sun and well-drained soil, and is described as drought-tolerant, deer-resistant, and able to thrive in various conditions.
