Sea Shells Cosmos
The cultivar name, Sea Shells, references the rolled petals and their resemblance to shells found on many beaches. This mix of colors includes pastel white, cream, pink, red, and carmine on tall, upright plants with very thin dissected leaves. Plant seeds or seedlings in full sun, and moderately fertile soils after the danger of late frosts has passed, and deadhead to encourage continuous flowering.
