Cosmos, Picotee
Cosmos, Picotee Â
Cosmos bipinnatus (75-90 days)Â Â
A lovely strain we obtained from the collection of the late Al Vanet that grows quickly into a 4’ high bush with dozens of pale pink blooms.  The petals are fringed with a bright magenta lining. Very pretty in bouquets or as beneficial insect habitat hedge. Tiger Swallowtail butterflies are particularly attracted to cosmos. Old-timers say that when interplanted with corn it deters corn earworms. SSF.
Packet (1g ~70 seeds)
