Plant description
Yellow-eyed daisy-like flowers, which have a soft spiky appearance, top upright stems throughout the summer, putting on an impressive display in the border (or large pots). They come in a range of colours, from white to deep pink - with picotees as well - so will mix easily with a whole host of colours. Once established, these seedlings are generous bloomers, and if the flowers aree cut for the vase, it will encourage even more to form.
Grown individually in cell trays, each plant measures about 4 - 6cm 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.

How to care for Cosmos bipinnatus Razzmatazz Series:
Pot up and grow on under glass until all risk of frost has passed and they can be planted outside in a well-prepared bed. Pinching out the growing tips will encourage them to become bushier, and taller plants may need supporting with brushwood stems 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.
