Cosmos – Bipinnatus Dwarf Celebration Mix
$2.50 – $66.00Price range: $2.50 through $66.00
The Cosmos bipinnatus Dwarf Celebration Mix is a vibrant blend of compact cosmos varieties in a range of cheerful colors, including shades of pink, white, crimson, and magenta. These dwarf cosmos typically grow to a height of 12–24 inches, making them ideal for smaller spaces, borders, container gardens, and mass plantings.
Cosmos are native to Mexico and parts of Central America, thriving in full sun and warm climates. Like their taller counterparts, dwarf cosmos produce daisy-like flowers with soft, feathery foliage and are known for their long blooming period—often from early summer until the first frost.
These hardy annuals are easy to grow from seed and perform best in well-drained, moderately fertile soil. Avoid overly rich soil or excessive fertilization, which can lead to leggy growth and fewer flowers, even in dwarf varieties.
Cosmos are excellent for cutting gardens, attracting pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects. Once the blooms fade, the seeds serve as a valuable food source for birds, adding ecological value to your garden.
To establish strong plants, water regularly during the seedling stage. Once established, cosmos are drought-tolerant and require minimal maintenance. However, they are not frost-hardy and should be planted after the danger of frost has passed.
The Dwarf Celebration Mix brings color, pollinators, and easy charm to any garden with minimal effort—perfect for gardeners of all experience levels.
