Plant description

This relatively compact annual Cosmos features charming single rosy-pink flowers, approximately 8cm (3in) across, enhanced by a delicate soft peach-centred glow.

Cosmos bipinnatus ‘Xsenia’ is complemented by a shimmering orangey overlay that varies with light conditions - in full sunlight, the petals display a pink hue, while under subdued light during evenings or cloudy days, the peach-coral tones become more prominent, offering a delightful visual transformation.

Finely divided, feathery foliage provide the perfect foil for this handsome cut flower and long-season border annual.

Care guide

Pot on and grow on under glass until all risk of frost has passed and they can be planted outside in a well-prepared bed.

Pinch out the growing tips to encourage bushier growth, and feed at regular intervals throughout summer with a high-potash fertiliser. Taller plants may need supporting with brushwood stems in exposed positions.

Planting requirements

  • In early spring, sow seed shallowly in seed trays and keep under glass, transplanting them into individual pots when large enough to handle. Harden off before planting outside after the frosts.
  • Alternatively, sow in-situ in mid- to late spring in a well-prepared bed and thin the seedlings out as they grow to allow approximately 30cm between each.
