Cosmos 'Apollo White' – Summer Bedding (2L Pot)

Cosmos 'Apollo White' 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 pure white 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.

Supplied as a well established 2L pot grown plant, roughly a 17cm nursery pot, with a dense healthy root system, grown peat-free at our Yorkshire nursery. 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.
