This popular, pure white annual cosmos makes a great filler plant for a sunny, moist but well-drained border. As long as it's dead-headed regularly it will produce a succession of graceful, pure white, saucer-shaped flowers up to 10cm (4in) in diameter from June to October and masses of feathery, mid-green leaves.
Grown in individual plug cells, each plant measures about 5 - 7cm tall (from the base of the root to the top of the plant). They are ideal for keen gardeners who have a greenhouse where the plants can be grown on until they are ready for planting out in the garden once all chance of frost has passed.
Please note that as we grow these for especially for you, we need to take full payment when you place your order so as to reserve stock for you. See above for despatch dates for this particular plant. To ensure that your plants arrive in the best possible condition each pack will be despatched individually.

I bought these as plug plants to fill wooden planters in my sons garden. He was getting married and we needed a riot of white flowers for the day. These fitted the bill perfectly-strong healthy plants with a mass of daisy white flowers. Lasted for ages. Everyone loved them.

I have bought Cosmos Purity from Crocus for the last few years. It is a great mid to late summer bedding plant, when lots of the early bulbs and spring flowers are finished. I buy them as plugs and grow them on in the greenhouse until planting out in May. They are a nice height and flower continuously if you dead head them regularly. The flowers are pretty and create a cottage garden feel. The bees and butterflies love them!

Hello, Yes, these may need supporting with brushwood stems - particularly if grown in exposed positions.

After the last frost date, plant up containers with tender flowering bedding and reliable foliage plants. Line terracotta pots with polythene, taking care not to cover the planting holes, to reduce water loss through the porous sides of the pot.

There is still plenty of time to raise hardier annuals from seeds sown now and these include cosmos, zinnias and marigolds. However it's often easier to opt for ready-grown plugs of these, as well as the more-tender begonias petunias, antirrhinums and ni
