Cosmos 'Purity'

This classic annual plant has large, broad petalled pure white daisy-shaped flowers n stiff, well-branched stems with fluffy leaves. The flowers are produced continuously throughout the summer well into the autumn. It is perfect for filling gaps in perennials borders and for cutting. I use it in my peony borders to provide colour once the peony flowers have faded. Approximately 100 seeds. Flowers July to October.

Care advice

Sow during February or March into pots of compost, cover very lightly then place in a cold greenhouse until they leaves are substantial enough and frosts have past. Or sow straight into the soil during April and May. Regular dead-heading not only keeps the plants clean, it promotes more flowers.
