The superb new colour, palest pink with a deep pink centre and semi dwarf habit makes this a unique and delicate addition to Cosmos. Very early flowering and though the flowers are slightly smaller, they are freely produced over a long period and self cleaning. Excellent for cutting, bedding etc, and attractive pot plants for summer flowering in a cold greenhouse. Flowers summer to autumn. Height 90cm (36in).
Sow 3mm (1/8in) deep in spring at 21-24C (70-75F) in a good seed compost. Keep soil damp but not wet, sealing in a polythene bag after sowing is helpful. Germination usually takes 5-10 days.
