Cosmos bipinnatus
A cottage garden classic. Pink Popsocks are a beautiful cosmos with feathery foliage and gentle pink flowers.
A beautiful low maintenance pollinator friendly flower. Cosmos prefer to be direct sown which we also appreciate.
Pink Popsocks will grow to about 2 feet (with a few plants reaching up to 3ft) and flower all summer.

How to Plant: Sow seeds in the garden mid-May or so (even before the last frost) and barely cover with soil. You can also start Cosmos indoors 4 to 6 weeks before the last frost. To start indoors, press seeds into the soil and barely cover with soil. Keep soil moistened and place container in a warm place. A heat mat helps to keep soil warm. Once seedlings are up, place under lights/in a sunny place. Transplant outside after danger of frost is passed.
