Description

Cosmos 'Candyfloss Mix' (Cosmos bipinnatus) is a charming open-pollinated heirloom annual prized for its compact habit, feathery fern-like foliage, and abundant daisy-like blooms. Reaching a manageable 18 to 24 inches in height, this mixture produces large 3- to 4-inch flowers in a dreamy palette of rose-pink, soft pastel blush, crimson, and pure white. Highly adaptable and heat-tolerant, Candyfloss Mix blooms continuously from midsummer right through early autumn frosts. Its sturdy, dwarf branching growth makes it an outstanding choice for cottage garden borders, patio containers, pollinator beds, and fresh-cut wildflower bouquets.
