Cosmos ‘Apricotta’
Cosmos bipinnatus
This beautiful new cosmos is a welcome addition to this easy-to-grow, free-flowering group of plants. Young flowers start out a warm tangerine with a soft rosy center. As flowers age, their rose coloring becomes more pronounced. The color shift gives blooms an iridescent quality. Plants are tall, extremely productive, and flowers are a wonderful color for arranging.

How to Grow:
Start seed indoors in trays 4-6 weeks before last frost; transplant out after all danger of frost has passed. Cosmos can also be direct seeded once weather has warmed.
Harvesting/Vase Life:
Individual blooms don’t last long in the vase, about 4-6 days, but each stem is loaded with multiple blossoms that open over a period of a week. Harvest when buds are cracking, but haven’t fully opened in order to prevent insects from pollinating, which will help stretch the vase life by a few extra days. Flower preservative is recommended.
