Cosmos bipinnatus

Of all the annual plants you can grow in your cutting garden, none are more productive per square foot than cosmos. The more you cut, the more they bloom. A unique double flowered cosmos, these fluffy blooms are easy to grow and look great in bouquets. More refined than a traditional white cosmos, ‘Snow Puff’ is ethereal and romantic.

Plant type: annual
Height: 36-42”
Site: full sun
Days to maturity: 75-90 days
Plant spacing: 12”
Pinch: when 12” tall
Approx seeds per packet: 100

How to grow:
Start seed indoors in trays 4-6 weeks before last frost; transplant out after all danger of frost has passed. Cosmos can also be direct seeded once weather has warmed.

Harvesting/vase life:
Individual blooms don’t last long in the vase, about 4-6 days, but each stem is loaded with multiple blossoms that open over a period of a week. Harvest when buds are cracking, but haven’t fully opened in order to prevent insects from pollinating, which will help stretch the vase life by a few extra days. Flower preservative is recommended.
