Notes

'Double Click Rose Bonbon' cosmos (Cosmos bipinnatus 'Double Click Rose Bonbon') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and pollinator 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 moist soil of most types. It grows fast into a clumping plant that reaches 35 to 47 inches tall, and butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit the blooms. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything.

Pairs well with Purple top, Silver feather grass, and Ageratum.
