Sensation Cosmos Mix

(Cosmos bipinnatus) All-America Selections winner in 1936.  Easy-to-grow heirloom produces a delightful mixture of crimson, pink, white, and fuchsia flowers atop wispy stems with airy, thread-like leaves.  Plants grow to 4', flowering from July through September with peak bloom occurring in mid-August.  An excellent cut flower.  Tolerates poor soil and drought.  Deer-resistant.  Approx. 250 seeds per packet.

CULTURE: After danger of frost has passed, sow seeds 1/4" deep into a prepared garden bed.  Germination will occur in 3-10 days.  Thin to one plant every 12-18".  Do not over-water as this will reduce blooms.
