Notes
'Double Click Bicolor Violet' cosmos (Cosmos bipinnatus 'Double Click Bicolor Violet') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, pollinator gardens, and cottage gardens. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full or part sun and dry to average, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. The bicolor blooms range from eggplant to lavender. Deer tend to pass it by. Butterflies, bees, and birds visit the flowers.
Pairs well with Easy Wave White petunia, Red fescue, and Indigo bush.
