Cosmos 'Xanthos'
A dainty Cosmos, with demure petals in a very pale lemon, and a single, bright centre. The bees love it, and so do we. A cosmos with slightly more petite proportions that can make it an ideal choice perfect for pots and containers and smaller sized borders.
Sow under cover in spring, and plant out after the last frost. Or direct sow when the weather and soil have warmed. Seeds are large, easy to handle, and germinate quickly and readily. Pinch out the top of the seedling when 8 inches tall to encourage bushier growth and more flowers.
Plant Type: Half Hardy Annual
Aspect: Full Sun
Spacing: 12 inches apart
Days to Maturity: 75-90 approx
Height: 2ft
