Bred in France as a cut flower, Double Click offers lovely semi-double and fully-double large frilly blossoms in rosy-red, pink, blush and white, all with sunny-gold centers. The satiny, 2 to 3 inch blossoms grow on long stems and flower nonstop from early summer on. Cut armfuls of bouquets—the more flowers you pick the more the plants will produce. Butterflies seek out these extra-fancy Cosmos as they sway above ferny foliage.

GROWING INSTRUCTIONS

Annual

Summer/fall bloom.

Frost tender.

To Start Outdoors

Sow seeds ½ inch deep, 1 to 2 inches apart in a sunny location in well-worked garden soil once danger of frost is past. Keep seed bed moist. Seedlings emerge in 7 to 10 days. Thin established seedlings to a final spacing of 8 inches apart, so plants have room to mature. Keep well-weeded and watered while plants are young; mature Cosmos can handle hot and dry conditions.

To Start Early Indoors

Sow seeds 1 inch apart in a container of seed starting mix, 4 to 6 weeks before last expected frost. Cover ½ inch deep, keep moist and provide a good light source until ready to go outside. Plant outdoors 8 inches apart once weather warms up, after gradually acclimating seedlings to outdoor conditions.

Growing Notes

These free-flowering, long-blooming summer flowers pro-duce reliably in all soil types to fill the garden with abundant blossoms. Sow several times through June for a succession of fresh flowers. Cutting generous bouquets actually prolongs the blooming season. Cosmos pair beautifully with Cleome, Asters and Zinnias.
