Product Specification

You must see this variety to admire the color, as it is quite difficult to describe. This is a combination of light and dark pink shades, dusted with an orange shade. The amount of orange “dusting” depends on the lighting. In bright sunlight, the petals have more shades of pink, but as the sun sets, the shades of orange intensify.

Tips to Grow:

Cosmos can be grown on poor and dry soils, but you will get the best result if you pay some attention to it. Disease and cold-resistant, tolerates mild frosts ( -1-2 ⁰С). Transplants well.
