Rich Crimson Blooms so Profuse they Hide the Foliage!
Cosmos Gazebo Red
Blooms all summer!
Flowers are 4 to 5 inches across and saturated with color!
For nonstop radiant color in the back of the border, Gazebo Red is a very bushy, free-flowering tall Cosmos that blooms all summer long! The flowers are huge--4 to 5 inches across--and borne so abundantly that they crowd atop the 4-foot plants!
Like all Cosmos, this charming variety thrives in the sunny garden, drawing butterflies and compliments by the dozen. Simply direct-sow the seeds wherever you'd like lots of quick, long-lasting color. 2 1/2 months later the plants are in full bloom! The flowers are great in vases too, keeping their color and holding up their heads over a long period. And the plants will thrive even in poor dry soils, making them ideal for blazing-hot trouble spots as well as beds, borders, and walkways. Packet is 50 seeds.

Not red - fuchsia
There seems to be a pattern with Park of labeling fuchsia flowers as red. This grew well enough despite incredible heat last summer in Dallas. Still, it's not the color described.
