Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This sweet form of Cosmos was found by a flower gardener in California who saved seeds and sent them along to a seed company to develop and refine. The result is a diaphanous creation, all pastel pinks, mauves and white, some with extra frilly petals, all showing a unique cup-shaped form. Easy to grow, just keep cutting for continuous flower production.
