The flowers of Cosmos "Sensation" are distinguished by their toothed petals, radiating around a bright yellow heart composed of fertile florets. This characteristic gives each flower a delicate and graceful appearance, ideal for embellishing beds, borders, and for making superb bouquets of cut flowers.
Easy to grow, this variety adapts well to drought conditions, poor soils and heat, but also tolerates wetter soils. To encourage better branching and abundant flowering, it is recommended to pinch the tips of the stems when the plant reaches about 15 cm in height. Cosmos flowers also attract butterflies, birds and several pollinators, thus promoting biodiversity in the garden.
