Cosmos (Red)

Red Cosmos produces elegant, daisy-like blooms in rich shades of red and crimson on tall, airy stems that sway beautifully in the breeze. Easy to grow and long-flowering, cosmos attracts butterflies and bees and makes a lovely cut flower. Sow seeds in full sun in well-draining soil, water moderately, and enjoy abundant blooms in about 70–90 days. Tough and rewarding even in poor soil, red cosmos is perfect for borders, cottage gardens and pollinator patches — a graceful, carefree favourite that brings movement and colour to any sunny spot.
