Mexican Aster 'Daydream', Cosmea 'Daydream'
Cosmos bipinnatus ‘Daydream’ is an upright, half-hardy annual boasting single, palest pink to white flowers, up to 2-3 in. across (5-7 cm), adorned with a dark rosy throat. Blooming for months from early summer to fall, the ravishing blossoms are borne atop tall stems and float above the fine, feathery foliage. Fairly pest-free and low maintenance, add this charming plant to the landscape, and you will be rewarded with abundant butterflies. Creating a graceful visual impact in the garden, this cosmos is perfect at the back of sunny borders. The flowers are excellent for cutting.
