Cosmos is an attractive, beautiful and unusual annual. Cosmos Gloria is a beautiful, eye-catching, long-flowering cosmos species with beautiful, unusual and brilliant, pink flowers that have a contrasting crimson ring around the yellow centre. These long-flowering flowers are very strong. It is an excellent choice for anyone who likes flowers that bloom long, produce many flowers and, as a bonus, can also be used as a cut flower. Cosmos is also known as Garden Cosmos, Mexican Aster and Cosmea. Cosmos is a member of the Composite family (Asteraceae) just like: Achilles, Afrikaantje, Endive, Aster, Yarrow, Marigold, Marigold, Curry Plant, Cornflower, Cress Thistle, Daisies, Daisies, Marguerite, Dandelion, Toothbrush, Road Thistle, Chicory and Sunflower. This fast-growing and easy-to-grow, colourful flower needs little further introduction. Cosmos is available in several beautiful colours such as: white, red, pink, yellow, purple, fuchsia and orange. Cosmos's leaves are thin and feathery and also deeply incised. This makes the leaves look very airy.
This annual fits perfectly in a border, planter, a field or simply in a balcony container. Cosmos prefers a sunny, sheltered spot with well-nourished and well-drained soil. It doesn't like wet feet and clay soil is less suitable for cosmea. Not only people who have a garden, but also those who only have a balcony can enjoy these flowers. This is because they can easily be grown in flower pots and containers. An advantage of cosmos is that they require little maintenance. Even heat, nutrient-poor soil and drought can cope with them. This beautiful long-blooming plant blooms from July to October. Remove spent flowers regularly to enjoy cosmea for longer. Bees, butterflies and other beneficial insects love cosmos's flowers. Cosmos is also a good cut flower. Non hardy annual. Height: 80 - 100 cm.
