The markings on Candy Stripe Cosmos are unique and vary with each flower. The plants thrive on neglect and reseed themselves easily making them a great choice for wildflower meadows or naturalised areas. Cosmos can be a great cut flower with a vase life of 5-7 days. Harvest the blooms in the early morning hours selecting stems with flowers that have just opened.
