Description:
Cosmos bipinnatus 'Sonata Complete Mix'
A cheerful annual featuring large, daisy-like blooms in a beautiful mix of carmine, pink, rose, purple, red, and white, each with a golden-yellow centre. 'Sonata Complete Mix' flowers abundantly throughout summer and into fall, attracting butterflies and other pollinators. Its bushy, well-branched habit makes it an excellent choice for garden borders, containers, and cutting gardens.
Jess' Notes:
Deadhead frequently to encourage continuous blooms, and avoid over-fertilizing, as too much fertilizer can encourage leafy growth at the expense of flowers. Consider pinching plants early on for a fuller, bushier plant with more blooms. Pairs well with Salvia Victoria Blue.
