The Apricot Lemonade Cosmos have dusty, apricot petals with a mauve-purple center. They are the cottage-core poster children. A Beatrix Potter book in flower form.

Cosmos are agreeable little guys; sweet little bursts of color, bobbing on wispy stems with lacy leaves. They love the sun and heat, don't mind when you forget to water them, and push up new flowers every darn day. Wild, bushy growers, their moniker stands for the order and harmony of the universe, but we love their wild, care-free ways.

Includes 50 seeds.
