Cosmos (Cosmos Bipinnatus Sensation Dazzler) - Cosmos Dazzler is an amazing addition to any flower garden with its bold carmine blooms! It will establish easily from flower seeds in early spring and continue blooming through summer and until the first heavy frost. It is an annual that blooms profusely and has attractive feathery-like leaves. It is drought tolerant and requires very little maintenance making them perfect for the busy or weekend gardener. Originally from Mexico, they are also called Mexican Asters.
Cosmos Mexican Aster flowers are excellent for cutting. Cut the blooms just as the petals are beginning to unfold, and they will finish opening in the vase. The blooms will easily last 7 - 10 days in a vase. With such a long bloom season, many flowers can be cut and enjoyed indoors, and there will be plenty left in the garden to delight the butterflies and bees!
Directly sow Cosmos Bipinnatus seeds into prepared seed beds after danger of frost has passed. The seeds can be scattered onto the prepared soil and lightly raked under at a depth of 1/16 inch. Keep the flower seeds moist until germination. Cosmos flowers bloom about 10 weeks from planting.
