Cosmos 'Cups and Saucers'

A beautiful and alluring mixture of traditional cosmos with the fabulous Cosmos ‘Cupcakes’; a unique shaped flower. These sweet-coloured blooms put on a continuous display throughout the summer months and well into autumn, standing on tall, slender stems which sway in the breeze creating that gorgeous soft and floaty effect, and be beneficial to pollinators. They make lovely cut flowers too. Despite their delicate looks, these plants are pretty tough and will stay standing in rain or a drought. Perfect for wedding work. A must grow!
