606 Cosmos ‘Sonata’ Tray
Pot Size:
This compact cosmos series produces charming, daisy-like flowers above finely divided, airy foliage, creating a soft, cottage-garden look throughout the summer.
Known for its more compact growth habit compared with taller cosmos varieties, ‘Sonata’ is an excellent choice for garden borders, containers and mixed annual displays. Its open flowers also attract bees and butterflies, adding movement and life to sunny outdoor spaces.
Why You'll Like It
Beautiful Daisy-Like Blooms: Enjoy cheerful flowers that bring a light, colourful feel to summer gardens.
Compact Growth: The ‘Sonata’ series is well suited to smaller spaces and containers where a more manageable cosmos is desired.
Pollinator Friendly: Open flowers provide an attractive landing place for bees, butterflies and other beneficial pollinators.
Long Summer Display: With adequate sunlight and regular care, cosmos can flower for an extended period through the warmer months.
Growing Information
Light Requirements: Plant in full sun for the best flowering and strongest growth.
Planting: Transplant outdoors after the danger of frost has passed into well-drained soil. Space plants to allow airflow and room for mature growth.
Maintenance: Remove spent flowers to encourage continued blooming. Avoid excessive fertilizing, as overly rich soil can encourage foliage growth at the expense of flowers.
Long-Term Care: Cosmos are generally grown as annuals in coastal British Columbia. Collect seeds from mature flowers if desired, or allow some flowers to set seed naturally.
Great For
