Daisy-like cosmos flowers are easy-to-grow and versatile annuals. They can be used to plug gaps in borders, grown as a feature in their own right or as part of a container display. The flowers attract a variety of bees, butterflies and hoverflies, and also make a good cut flower.
Cosmos bipinnatus 'Sonata White' is a compact cosmos, bearing masses of pure white, single, saucer-shaped flowers, in contrast with bright green, feathery foliage. It's perfect for growing in pots and both its flowers and foliage work well in cut flower arrangements. For best results grow Cosmos bipinnatus 'Sonata White' in moist but well-drained soil, in full sun. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage repeat-flowering.
