Create a vibrant garden with Cosmos Apollo Mix Flower Seeds and enjoy a beautiful array of flowers. The flowers are primarily white and light pink, typical of the Apollo series. Each flower has a bright yellow center.
These dwarf plants have feathery, fern-like foliage and produce 4-inch (10-cm) daisy-shaped flowers in bright colors. The petals are broad, slightly overlapping, and have a soft, delicate appearance. They bloom from early summer to fall, attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies.
Cosmos Apollo plants are generally compact compared to other cosmos varieties, often growing to about 18-24 inches (45-60 cm) in height.
Environment
Optimal conditions for growing these flowers include full sun for at least 6 hours per day, though they can still tolerate partial shade. Space plants 12–15 inches (30–38 cm) apart and remove spent flowers regularly. Additionally, trimming stem tips can encourage bushier growth.Landscape:
