Fleuroselect Novelty Award Winner
Every garden deserves cosmos Rubenza. It's just so pretty, so eye-catching, so doggone easy to grow! Children can be successful with it as a first-ever gardening experience, busy gardeners can toss out the seed and be rewarded with months of blooms, and even experienced Cosmos lovers will be charmed by its color and vigor. Put it on the listyou'll be thanking yourself this summer!
The single blooms are neon-bright above fresh green foliage. They open a deep, satisfying shade of ruby red, then mature to fire-engine bright! You'll spot them from way down the street, and even a small planting will make a big impact. What is it about a bright red flower that is so satisfying?! Rubenza is one you won't want to miss.
This plant reaches 24 to 36 inches high and about 12 to 18 inches wide. It germinates super-quick, indoors or out, and grows quickly. Expect the blooms to begin in early summer and to continue in waves until frost. It's that simplesun, well-drained soil, and water are all that this cosmos needs!
A butterfly magnet, cosmos is a sheer pleasure for garden or container. The foliage is threadlike and ferny, adding a light-as-air look to the annual bed or flowerpot, and the blooms are quite long lasting. You just can't go wrong!
Rubenza immediately won a Fleuroselect Novelty Award when it was introduced in Europe. Now you can grow it for yourself and appreciate why. Enjoy.

Superior Germination Through Superior Science
First of all, we have humidity- and temperature-controlled storage, and we never treat any of our seeds with chemicals or pesticides. Nor do we ever sell GMO's (genetically modified seeds), so you always know the products you're buying from us are natural as well as safe for you and the environment.
Superior Standards - University Inspected
Hand Packed By Experienced Technicians
Park Seed has been handling and packing vegetable and flower seeds for 145 years, a history that has given us a great understanding of how each variety should be cared for and maintained throughout every step of theprocess, from collection to shipping.
When packing our seeds, the majority are actually done by hand (with extreme care!), and we often over-pack them, so you're receiving more than the stated quantity.
The Park Seed Gold Standard
Heirloom Seeds are open-pollinated -- they are not hybrids. You can gather and save heirloom seed from year to year and they will grow true to type every year, so they can be passed down through generations. To be considered an heirloom, a variety would have to be at least from the 1940's and 3 generations old (many varieties are much older -- some 100 years or more!).
Hybrid seed are the product of cross-pollination between 2 different parent plants, resulting in a new plant/seed that is different from the parents. Unlike Heirloom seed, hybrid seed need to be re-purchased new every year (and not saved). They usually will not grow true to type if you save them, but will revert to one of the parents they were crossed with and most likely look/taste different in some way.
