One of the most spectacular colors we’ve ever seen in a Cosmos! Stunning 3-inch blooms are an iridescent blend of soft apricot and warm peach radiating out from a rosy-lavender center. The delicate, fringed petals have a luminous quality that glows in the golden hour of the late afternoon, making them a standout in both the garden border and the vase. Fast-growing, airy plants reach 3 to 4 feet tall with fine, fern-like foliage. A pollinator magnet, 'Apricotta' will bloom midsummer all the way until first frost.

GROWING INSTRUCTIONS

ANNUAL

Summer/fall bloom.
Frost tender.

TO PLANT OUTDOORS

Direct sow seeds ½ inch deep, 3 to 4 inches apart in a sunny location in well-worked garden soil once danger of frost is past. Keep seed bed moist. Seedlings emerge in 5 to 10 days. Thin to 9 to 12 inches apart so plants have room to thrive. 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 once weather warms up after gradually acclimating seedlings to outdoor conditions.

TRANSPLANT

Space 9 to 12 inches apart when seedlings are large enough to handle.

GROWING NOTES

These classic, long-blooming summer flowers fill the garden with vibrant color, producing reliably in all soil types. Sow several times through June for a succession of fresh flowers. Cutting frequently prolongs the blooming season. The unique flower colors of 'Apricotta' make for stunning bouquets that arrange themselves.
