Apricotta Cosmos Seeds
Apricotta Cosmos are so hot. Fluttery, crepe cups of both fuscia and bubblegum pink - so summery and full of energy - that color combo genuinely makes us giddy. How can you not have these in your garden?
Oh, Cosmos, your moniker stands for the order and harmony of the universe, but we love your wild, care-free ways. Sweet little bursts of color and symmetry, Cosmos bob on wispy stems with wee, lacy, thread-like leaves. Wild, bushy growers, they pop up where they please, sometimes self-seeding mid-season. Cosmos are agreeable little guys. They love the sun and heat, don't mind that you water them whenever, and push up new flowers everyday.
Includes 100 seeds.
