Cosmos
Hi All,
I hope everything is going well with you. I have only been growing Cosmos for the last two years and I have come across a variety 'picotee' which produces a single flower on a relatively long stem. This is great (easy) for deadheading as I just use scissors and let it drop on the bed as opposed to those which have multiple buds close to each other and require precision cutting. Picotee is a white petal with red/pink edging. Does anyone know of another cosmos which has the same habit but possibly more dramatic colouring?
Thanks
Bob

I love Rubenza, my go to Cosmos.
When you don't even know who's in the team
S.Yorkshire/Derbyshire border
Cosmos seashells mixed. My first ever attempt at growing any sort of cosmos with mixed results. Those in pots grew into trees with stems 2" thick and hardly any flowers whereas the ones in the border have flowered since May and are much more compact. The colours are mixed red, white and pink, sometimes a combination but also the flower shape, some single, some fluted and some frilly. They were certainly easy to grow although I have been deadheading every day.
