Apricot Lemonade Cosmos: Soft Hues for a Refreshing Garden Look

The Apricot Lemonade Cosmos brings a gentle, refreshing palette to any garden with its delicate, pastel blooms. This annual variety grows up to 3 feet tall, showcasing slender, feathery green foliage that complements its soft, enchanting flowers. Each 3- to 4-inch bloom features a unique blend of apricot and creamy yellow tones, evoking the look of a cool lemonade on a warm day.

One of the earliest cosmos to bloom, Apricot Lemonade keeps your garden lively from midsummer well into fall, especially with regular deadheading. Perfect for borders, garden beds, or cutting gardens, this cosmos variety attracts bees and butterflies, making it as beneficial to local pollinators as it is beautiful in your landscape.

Direct sow seeds after the last frost, or start indoors 4-6 weeks before planting outside. Deadhead regularly to encourage more blooms and extend flowering. Apricot Lemonade Cosmos is an ideal choice for gardeners seeking a soft, serene color scheme that thrives in the warmth of summer.
