Description
This lovely variety of cosmos is truly special.

With its beautiful colors ranging from apricot, caramel, vanilla, to rose, Apricotta has captured our hearts here at Florea.

Its sweet petals shimmer beautifully in the sun and create a stunning focal point wherever it is planted.

The attractive foliage is green and has a feathery appearance.

This variety is easy to grow, reliable, and resilient, making it a favorite among gardeners.

It is perfect for planting directly in the ground or in containers and other types of planters. The best thing about cosmos is that you can harvest as many flowers as you want.

When you cut the flowers, the plant will produce new shoots, resulting in even more flowers than before.

In other words, Apricotta is a dream for those who enjoy making their own summer bouquets. A great advantage of this variety is that it is incredibly popular among all of our pollinators!

Care and cultivation advice

Pre-sow indoors in seed soil during March-April, preferably cover the sowing with transparent cover with air holes. When the seeds have sprouted, the sowing should be kept cool and as bright as possible for best results. To get many fabulous flowers, the Rose Campion plants need to be topped. This is done to stimulate the plant to produce more lateral shoots, which means more buds and flowers. A tip from us is to top/cut it just above the second or third pair of leaves.

The plants are transplanted when they have been hardened off properly and the risk of frost has passed. Choose a sunny location, as this is when it blooms the most, but the variety can also grow in semi-shade. Rose Campion thrives best in rich, sandy soil with not too much nutrients. If it gets too much nutrition, it will develop a lot of foliage but unfortunately very few flowers.

(The variety can also be sown directly on the planting site when the soil has warmed up and can be used, but then it will have a slightly later bloom.)
