Product description
Cosmos 'Xanthos' is a truly unique variety, offering soft lemon-yellow blooms with a delicate, creamy undertone. Its daisy-like flowers and fine, ferny foliage bring a gentle brightness to borders, containers, and cutting gardens, making it a standout in pastel or pollinator-friendly planting schemes.
Easy to grow from seed, this mix thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, flowering from July through October. Sow the seeds in trays from February to March and keep at 20-25°C until the seedlings are large enough to handle. Gradually harden them off and plant outside from May, when the risk of frost has passed, leaving 30-40cm between plants.
Whether you're designing a soft colour palette or looking for something subtly striking, Cosmos 'Xanthos' offers elegance, charm, and reliable performance. Its compact habit makes it especially suitable for smaller spaces or container displays, while its pale yellow blooms bring a serene touch to any summer garden.
