The Story
A classic open, single flowered cosmos, specifically bred for cutting. The flowers are white, developing a delicate rose flush as they age. Versailles Cosmos varieties are a little different to your average cosmos - the foliage and petals have a slightly waxy quality (which is what makes them last longer in the vase than other varieties). It also takes a little longer for the plants to flower making it a perfect addition to your cutting garden as a late-flowering succession. As with all cosmos, it'll bring a tonne of bees and beneficial insects to your garden.
Sow: Mar-April undercover, May-June outside.
Plant: 4-6 weeks after sowing at 30cm. Wait until risk of frost has passed.
Harvest: Pick stems when flowers are half open. 60cm stem length.
Vase: Expect a vase life of 5 days.
0.75g (approx 75 seeds). We pack seeds by weight, the number of seeds in a packet is an estimate.
