Candystripe cosmos (Cosmos bipinnatus) are enchanting annual wildflowers known for their delicate, daisy-like blooms. These flowers are characterized by their striking variegated petals, which often display a vibrant pink stripe on crimson colored petals. They typically grow on tall, slender stems that can reach heights of 3’ or more, making them a standout in any garden.


These wildflowers are not only aesthetically pleasing but also highly beneficial for pollinators. The open, nectar-rich flowers attract a multitude of bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, providing them with essential food sources. Additionally, candystripe cosmos are popular as cut flowers due to their long vase life and the ability to retain their fresh look for an extended period. Their vibrant colors and unique patterning make them a favorite choice for floral arrangements and bouquets.

ADDITIONAL SOWING INFORMATION

GROWERS TIP

Cosmos are best established directly outdoors. The seed can be scattered to the surface of the soil and lightly covered. The plants typically grow over 3 feet so they are best planted along fences, in the background, or in a naturalized setting. Cosmos become rather drought tolerant as they grow taller and require a minimum temperature of at least 65F. Fairly deer resistant.
