Cosmos 'Apollo Carmine' – Summer Bedding (Set of 3 or 6)

Cosmos 'Apollo Carmine' carries large, open, daisy-like flowers on airy stems from early summer to the first autumn frost.

The Apollo series is compact for a cosmos, so the carmine red flowers sit just above finely cut, feathery foliage instead of flopping about. The open single flowers are the sort bees and butterflies work all day, and they cut well for the house.

Each plant arrives strong and healthy in a 1L peat-free pot, grown at our Yorkshire nursery, with established roots rather than a plug. Cosmos is not hardy, so plant it out once the frosts have passed. Deadhead as the flowers fade and it will keep producing right through to the first autumn frost.
