Ruffled and romantic daisy-like flowers up to 7cm across which will look as sensational in borders or containers as they will in a pollinator enticing wildlife garden. Blooms commence in July and last through to October time – held above feathery and fern like foliage which emerges slightly earlier in March. Delicate, colourful and easy going, Cosmos bipinnatus ‘Double Click Bicolor Rose’ will produce hundreds of flowers if deadheaded regularly – enough for the garden and to fill multitudes of vases inside your home too. Even better, flowers last up to ten days in a vase for enduring and illuminating displays. Cosmos are packed full of nectar and pollen too so get ready to welcome bees and butterflies to the garden party as well. Cosmos bipinnatus ‘Double Click Bicolor Rose’ reaches a mature height of around 90cm, spreading to 50cm. Plant in well-drained soil of any type in full sun. A half-hardy annual which vigorously grows and flowers in single year and should be composted down at the end of the season, once any seed has been collected for following years.
