Versailles Mix Cosmos offers a bright, cheerful blend of blush pink, white, and deep rose tones that stand out in both garden beds and fresh arrangements. Blooms measure about 2 1/2 inches across and rise on slender, upright stems that add height without heaviness.
Originally selected with cutting in mind, this variety produces strong stems suited for bouquets while still looking at home in borders and larger containers. Plants grow 40–48 inches tall and bloom early, continuing through summer when regularly deadheaded.
Cosmos thrive in full sun and are adaptable to a wide range of soil types, making them an easy addition to cutting gardens and seasonal plantings.

-
Cover seeds lightly when sowing.

Transplant after frost once seedlings are hardened off.
