In each collection you will receive five of each of the following:

Grows to 60cm. Supplied as jumbo seedlings.

  • 5 x Cosmos bipinnatus 'Cosimo Purple Red': This compact cultivar, with finely-divided, feathery foliage, has abundant richly coloured flowers in bold shades of purple red. With its early and extended flowering season, dwarf habit and brightly coloured daisy blooms, this cosmos is a perfect choice for borders, containers, and wildlife gardens. Grows to 60cm. Supplied as jumbo seedlings.

  • 5 x Cosmos bipinnatus 'Cosimo Red-White': This compact cultivar, with finely-divided, feathery foliage, has abundant bicoloured flowers striped in shades of raspberry red, white and purple. Grows to 60cm. Supplied as jumbo seedlings.

    How to care for Cosmos butterfly container plant collection:

    Pinching out the growing tips will encourage them to become bushier, and feeding with a high-potash fertiliser at regular intervals throughout the summer will promote even more flowers to form.
