Spectacular, fully double and semi-double flowers in white, pink, and carmine. Double Click Assorted cosmos seeds are a Fleuroselect Winner that grows 60-80cm (24-31″) tall, with big, powder-puff flowers that bloom from mid-summer to frost. Direct sow from April to June. Be sure to keep the plants deadheaded (remove spent flowers) for a tidier look. Cosmos is drought tolerant, so technically these are good for xeriscaping. But the Double Click series is so fancy it might be better for cut flowers. Either way, they will bring colour and whimsy to your organic flower garden.
