cosmos - apricotta
Apricot-rose blooms on long stems.
Tall, vigorous, densely branching plants. Delicate single blooms have a slightly ruffled edge and glow in shades of blush, apricot, and rose. We have observed variation in bloom color: some flowers are lighter in color, while some express more rose than apricot. The 2 1/2–3" blooms are not as full or uniform as we would like. Still, we appreciate the variety for its productive plants and its ability to unify warm and cool hues in arrangements.
Specs:
Plant Height: 36–48"
2.5” pot
LIGHT PREFERENCE:
Sun.
PLANT HEIGHT:
Varies. Tall varieties may benefit from some wind protection, such as Hortonova, used as horizontal support.
PLANT SPACING:
9-12". Wider spacing creates stronger, thicker stems.
HARDINESS ZONES:
Annual.
HARVEST:
Petals just opening, but not yet flattened. Deadheading is required to have blooms all summer.
SOIL REQUIREMENTS:
Any soil.
USES:
Excellent cut flowers. Beds, containers, and mass plantings.
