Description
Cupcake cosmos bring the softest, most whimsical presence to the garden, like petals gathered from a summer daydream. Their unique fluted, cupcake-like blooms open in shades of cloud-white and soft blush, each one airy and light as a whisper. They sway and flutter in the breeze, catching the sun in the loveliest way. A delicate cut-flower with endless stems for arranging, they’re the definition of effortless beauty—sweet, and full of charm.

Start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before your last frost date. Place in a warm area to germinate. Plant outdoors once chances of frost have passed. Seeds can also be direct sowed in the garden. Cosmos can tolerate some cool weather. Pinch plants once they've reached 12 inches to encourage branching and more blooms.
Harvesting
Cosmos flowers should be harvested at the 'cracking bud stage' when the buds are coloured but not yet fully open, or when the first few petals have just begun to unfurl. This stage ensures a longer vase life and allows the blooms to fully open after being cut.
