Candystripe Cosmos: Sweetly Striped Blooms for a Charming Garden Display

Candystripe Cosmos is a stunning, standout variety with delicate, candy-striped blooms that add a touch of whimsy to any garden. Growing up to 4 feet tall, this annual cosmos features slender stems and lush, fern-like foliage, creating a graceful, airy backdrop for its unique flowers. Each bloom is beautifully patterned with soft pink and white stripes, reminiscent of a classic candy cane, giving it a playful yet elegant appeal.

An ideal choice for borders, cottage gardens, or cut flower arrangements, Candystripe Cosmos is also beloved by pollinators, attracting bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects. With regular deadheading, it blooms continuously from midsummer through fall, ensuring a vibrant, long-lasting display.

Direct sow seeds after the last frost or start indoors 4-6 weeks prior to outdoor planting. For best results, deadhead regularly to encourage more blooms. With its delightful candy-striped flowers, Candystripe Cosmos brings a sweet, nostalgic charm to any garden space.
