Product Description

Mr Fothergills Cosmos Psyche White (Cosmos bipinnatus) is a refined and eye-catching cosmos variety, prized for its large, ruffled semi-double flowers in crisp white. Flowering freely in the same year as sowing, this half hardy annual delivers a long-lasting summer display with an airy, graceful habit. The fine, ferny foliage and tall stems make it perfect for filling gaps in borders, creating informal drifts, or forming a striking centrepiece in island beds. Originating from Mexico, Cosmos Psyche White thrives in warm, sunny positions and free-draining soil, where it produces more flowers with less foliage. Its long stems also make it an excellent choice for cutting and indoor arrangements.
