Description
Cosmos Sensation Mix (Cosmos bipinnatus) is a legendary 1936 All-America Selections winner celebrated for its effortless growth, airy fine-cut foliage, and profuse display of large, daisy-like blossoms. Reaching impressive heights of 3 to 5 feet, it produces soft, feathery green leaves topped with abundant 3- to 4-inch single flowers in vibrant shades of magenta, rose, soft pink, and pure white with golden-yellow centers. Thriving in heat, full sun, and lean soils, Sensation Mix blooms continuously from midsummer through the first autumn frost. An indispensable staple for cut flower beds, cottage borders, pollinator gardens, and wildflower drifts.
