Cosmos Apricotta

A cosmos for those who find the usual pinks and whites a little predictable. Apricotta is a Fleuroselect Novelty Award winner in a dreamy, unusual palette of apricot, peach, and cantaloupe — large, open flowers with a subtle mauve-pink ring around the centre that gives them a warmth and depth quite unlike anything else in the border.

The kind of colour that photographs beautifully, arranges effortlessly, and draws compliments from everyone who sees it.
