Cosmos – Bipinnatus Dwarf Pink
$2.50 – $66.00Price range: $2.50 through $66.00
Cosmos bipinnatus ‘Dwarf Pink’ is a compact, charming variety of cosmos that produces abundant soft pink, daisy-like flowers with golden centers. Its reduced height—typically growing to just 12–24 inches —makes it ideal for small spaces, borders, containers, and pollinator gardens.
Native to Mexico and Central America, cosmos are sun-loving annuals that thrive in full sun and warm weather. ‘Dwarf Pink’ offers all the beauty of traditional cosmos in a more compact form, with delicate, fern-like foliage and a long bloom period that stretches from early summer until the first frost.
These plants are excellent as cut flowers, and their blooms attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators. After flowering, their seed heads provide a valuable food source for birds, enhancing biodiversity in your garden.
Cosmos prefer well-drained, moderately fertile to poor soil. Avoid rich soil or high-nitrogen fertilizers, as these can cause the plants—even dwarf varieties—to grow leggy and flop over. For best results, direct sow seeds outdoors after the last frost and water regularly until established. Once mature, cosmos are drought-tolerant and require little maintenance.
‘Dwarf Pink’ is a low-maintenance favorite that brings soft color and natural charm to any garden setting, especially where space is limited.
