Xanthos Cosmos: Pastel Blooms with a Unique Charm

Xanthos Cosmos is a breathtaking variety celebrated for its soft, pastel-hued blooms that bring a touch of elegance to any garden. Reaching up to 3 feet in height, this annual features slender stems with feathery green foliage, adding delicate texture.

The blooms of Xanthos Cosmos vary in color from creamy ivory to a gentle buttery yellow, creating a warm, soothing palette. These large, single flowers are early bloomers, filling the garden with color from summer until fall. With regular deadheading, Xanthos Cosmos remains vibrant and abundant, making it a lovely addition to borders, containers, or cut flower arrangements.

Direct sow after the last frost, or start indoors 4-6 weeks prior for an early bloom. Xanthos Cosmos is an ideal choice for gardeners looking to bring a gentle, pastel tone to their landscapes. With its unique coloring and long bloom season, it’s perfect for adding a soft, sophisticated charm to any garden setting.
