Cosmos Ladybird Mixed - Cosmos sulphureus seeds

The Cosmos sulphureus Ladybird Mixed is a variety of dwarf Cosmos with semi-double flowers. It is offered in a mixture of colors ranging from scarlet red to yellow and orange. Its flowering period is very long, making it perfect for country gardens and for making wildflower bouquets.

The Ladybird Mixed variety has a small habit, reaching a height of 40 cm (15.7 in) and spreading over 40 cm (15.7 in). It is well-suited for small gardens, borders, and container cultivation.

This Cosmos is very interesting for decorating the surroundings of the house or adding a touch of warmth to a flower bed. You can combine it with other annuals, such as Coreopsis Be Bop or the Cherry Glow Poppy, or with the Prairie Fire Orange Sedge for a vibrant atmosphere.

Native to South America and belonging to the asteraceae family, the Cosmos sulphureus or Sulphur Cosmos is an annual plant with rapid growth that can reach 1.5 meters in its natural habitat. It has a branched habit and finely cut foliage (although slightly less than Cosmos bipinnatus), with light green color, and displays an tireless flowering from June to the first frost.

The Ladybird Sulphur Cosmos is easy to cultivate. Its flowering is resilient to poor soil, heat, and humidity. Give it plenty of sunlight, and it will bloom no matter what.

It is a particularly attractive plant for bees, and if you refrain from doing a major autumn cleanup, you will likely have the chance to admire birds (especially goldfinches) come to peck at the last seeds.
