Cosmos 'Apricotta' Seed

Apricot-Pink Cosmos | Award-Winning Gradient Bloom | Wedding Favorite

Apricotta is a single-petaled cosmos with a genuinely unusual apricot-to-lavender-pink gradient — winner of the Fleuroselect Novelty Award for exactly this reason. It's become a go-to for wedding designers chasing that soft, warm, "warm neutral" moment.

How to Grow
Direct sow after all danger of frost, once soil has warmed. Press seeds about 1/4 inch into loose soil, keep evenly moist until germination. Pinch young plants to encourage bushier growth. Cut often — the more you harvest, the more it blooms.

Good to Know
Cosmos thrive on neglect — overly rich soil produces more foliage than flowers. Tall stems may benefit from light staking in exposed spots.
