A "Sweethearts" Mix of White, Red, and Pink Blooms on Compact Plants!
Cosmos Sonata Mix
Blooms up to 3 inches across!
The best of the beloved Sonata series, including award-winning White!
They won't be blooming on Valentine's Day, but this lovely white, red, and pink mix makes a delightful sweetheart bouquet, container, or border! The Sonata series is prized for its floriferousness--the 2 3/4- to 3-inch blooms jockey for position atop very compact, bushy plants just 2 feet tall and 15 inches across. A good size for the front of the border, edging, or containers, these plants reward you with summer-long blooms! This mix contains Fleuroselect Quality Mark winner White, plus a red and two shades of lavender-pink. Delectable!
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 30 seeds.
