Cosmos
Apricot Lemonade

Soft, sunny, and completely charming, Cosmos ‘Apricot Lemonade’ brings watercolor beauty to the summer garden with blooms that look hand-painted in butter yellow, blush pink, apricot, and cream. Each flower features a sweet inner pink ring and pale lemony outer petals surrounding a golden, nectar-rich center — positively irresistible to bees and butterflies.

A prolific, sun-loving annual, ‘Apricot Lemonade’ Cosmos produces masses of blooms from late spring into mid-fall, floating above delicate, fern-like foliage. Reaching about 20" tall, it is wonderfully useful in containers, cutting gardens, cottage borders, pollinator plantings, and sunny mixed beds where its soft color can glow without overwhelming its neighbors.

Pair Cosmos ‘Apricot Lemonade’ with bachelor’s buttons, corncockle, coreopsis, strawflower, ornamental grasses, and silvery foliage for an easy, romantic garden palette. The tall-stemmed flowers are lovely for cutting, and this steady bloomer leaves plenty behind for visiting pollinators. Plant in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil, and deadhead regularly to keep the floral lemonade flowing. It may reseed where happy.
