Cosmos (Cosmos Bipinnatus Lemonade) - If you have been waiting for the perfect shade of yellow cosmos, then look no further than Cosmos Lemonade! Not too tall or too short, not too late blooming, not too wimpy, but just right! It only takes a few months after planting for this yellow cosmos to flower with 2.5 inch primrose yellow blooms all around the dense rounded 30 inch x 30 inch bright green foliage. Primrose yellow color is not that easy to come by in Summer bloomers, and so valuable a compliment to pinks, blues and whites. Elegant cut flowers and great and attracting butterflies!
For the best flower production plant in soils of average fertility with moderate water. Cosmos plants tolerate heat, drought, and poor soils. Remove spent blooms to promote additional flowers. Cosmos will usually self-sow if some spent blossoms are kept on plants. Cut flowers typically last 5 to 9 days when blooms are cut as petals unfold. Flowers fully open in vase. Cosmos attract birds, bees and butterflies.
Directly sow Cosmos Bipinnatus seeds into prepared seed beds after danger of frost has passed. For a natural setting, the flower seeds can be scattered onto the prepared soil. Lightly rake the soil over the seeds at a depth of 1/16 inch and keep the area moist.
