Notes
'Versailles Flush' cosmos (Cosmos bipinnatus 'Versailles Flush') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, pollinator gardens, and cottage gardens. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full or part sun and dry to average, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It was developed especially for cutting and grows 40 to 48 inches tall with pink flowers. Butterflies, bees, and birds visit the blooms. Deer tend to pass it by.
Pairs well with Double Zahara Fire zinnia, Red fescue, and Fireweed.
