Notes
'Cupcakes White' cosmos (Cosmos bipinnatus 'Cupcakes White') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, pollinator gardens, and cottage gardens. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist soil of most types. White blooms open in a clumping plant that grows fast and draws butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. It also handles dry spells well.
Pairs well with Ageratum, Hidcote lavender, and Franz Schubert garden phlox.
