Cosmos, ‘Snow Puff’

(Cosmos bipinnatus) Spectacular 3-4’ tall and wide plants covered with a dense carpet of semi-double to double white flowers. The more you cut them the more flowers they will make from spring through late fall! Like all cosmos, so easy to grow, so rewarding and so, so many flowers. One of our favorite cutting flowers. Pinching back the first few flower buds will lead to a lovely plant structure and more profuse and doubled blooms earlier on. Throws an occasional blushed pink and we will continue selecting for pure white.
75-90 days. UO

Packet: 75 seeds
