Cosmos sulphureus 'Dwarf Ladybird Scarlet'

Because of its dwarf, compact habit, this unusual cosmos makes an excellent bedding plant. The fresh ferny foliage provides a striking contrast to the masses of medium sized, semi-double, deep scarlet blooms. Flowers throughout the summer. (12ins)

Sowing Instructions

Sow indoors from February to April in trays of seed compost. Place in a propagator or seal inside a polythene bag until germination takes place. Prick out into pots when seedlings are large enough to handle. Harden off and plant out 30cm apart after last frosts. Can also be sown outdoors in late April.
