Cosmos – Bipinnatus Dwarf White

Cosmos bipinnatus ‘Dwarf White’ is a compact and elegant variety that produces pure white, daisy-like blooms with golden yellow centers. This dwarf form typically grows 12 to 24 inches tall, making it ideal for containers, borders, small gardens, and cut flower arrangements.

Cosmos are native to Mexico and parts of Central America, where they thrive in full sun and warm temperatures. Known for their long blooming season—from early summer until the first frost—cosmos are a favorite among pollinators, attracting bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects. After blooming, their seed heads become a natural food source for birds, especially finches.

These easy-to-grow annuals prefer well-drained, moderately fertile or poor soil. Avoid rich soil or heavy fertilization, which can cause even dwarf varieties to become tall and floppy. For best results, direct sow seeds outdoors after the danger of frost has passed, and water regularly until the plants are well established. Once mature, cosmos are drought-tolerant and require little maintenance.

‘Dwarf White’ is a beautiful choice for cottage gardens, pollinator patches, and low-maintenance landscapes, adding a soft, luminous touch to your garden design. While they love heat, cosmos are not frost-tolerant and should be planted only in warm-season conditions.
