Delivery detailsCosmos 'Apollo' Mixed 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 flowers sit just above finely cut, feathery foliage instead of flopping about. The mixed selection brings the range's colours together in one planting. 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 in Yorkshire, 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.
