& Cosmos bipinnatus Cupcakes 1 Seed Packet

Cosmos Bipinnatus 'Cupcakes' - This variety of Cosmos was discovered after US customer Diane Engdahl of Santa Rosa, California sent us the seeds of an unusual Cosmos she was growing in 2007. Since then, our breeders have been refining the habit of this colourful mixture . As a result, we have Cosmos Bipinnatus 'Cupcakes' - a beautiful mix of elegant white, pale pink and rose pink single and semi-double cup-shaped blooms which are free-flowering and easy to grow. They make an excellent addition to borders or a lovely container plant display, standing out among other plants. Ideal For: Patio, Cottage Gardens, Wildlife Gardens, Cut Flower Garden Hardiness: Half-hardy Position In: Full sun Height: Up to 120cm Spread: Up to 60cm Cosmos Bipinnatus 'Cupcakes' is supplied as 1 packet of 100 seeds. Sow Cosmos seed from March to May at a depth of 3mm (1/8") in a good quality seed compost, and cover the seeds with a very fine sprinkling of vermiculite. Place the seed tray in a propagator at a temperature of 18-25C (64-77F) or seal it inside a polythene bag. Keep the soil damp but not wet. Do not exclude light as this aids germination which usually takes 7-15 days. When seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant into 7cm (3") potsand grow them on in cooler conditions until large enough to plant outdoors. When Cosmos plants are well grown and all risk of frost has passed, acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over 7 to 10 days. Transplant outdoors in full sun in any moist, well drained soil at a distance of 45cm (18") apart. Pinch out the growing tip of each stem when transplanting to encourage stems to branch and produce more Cosmos flowers.
