Thompson & Morgan Cosmos Apricot Lemonade 40 seed

The unique pastel colouring of the petals starts out as a soft apricot shade with a pale lavender underside which then fades over time to a creamy yellow. No two blooms are the same, whilst some flowers boast an intriguing mauve ring at their centre.

Sow cosmos seed from February to May at a depth of 3mm (1/8in) in a good quality seed compost, and cover the seeds with a very fine sprinkling of vermiculite. Place the seed tray in a propagator at a temperature of 18-25?C (64-77?F) or seal inside a polythene bag. Keep the soil damp, but not wet.
