Description
Cosmos 'Double Click Rose Bonbon' is an amazing selection featuring fully double, pompom-like blooms on strong stems. The charming pink flowers appear all season long on tall plants, ideal for cutting! Easy to grow and effortlessly romantic, Cosmos thrive in light soil in a sunny position.
Cosmos bipinnatus is a tender annual plant native to Mexico and the southernmost part of the United States. It belongs to the Asteraceae family alongside Dahlias and daisies, featuring the characteristic inflorescences known as capitulums and very fine, feathery foliage. 'Double Click Rose Bonbon' quickly forms large clumps, about 90 cm tall and 50 cm wide. Flowering starts in June-July, 60-90 days after sowing, and lasts until October (or the first frosts). The flower heads measure about 7 cm across and are made up of several layers of petals arranged around a golden central disc. The fully double flowers are straight-coloured, in a gentle shade of pink. Cosmos are a magnet to foraging insects and butterflies, including the monarch butterfly. The finely cut, cloud-like foliage resembles fennel leaves and is delicately scented. Flowers are followed by blackish, spiky seed heads (achenes).
Cosmos is an easy-going, rewarding annual that can single handedly fill a sunny slope, border or flower bed. It is perfect to animate romantic or cottage style gardens. Easy to grow even by beginners, this adorable plant with its feathery green leaves and naive flowers bring light and airiness to heavier blooms such as Dahlias. It combines well with perennial sage, Verbena bonariensis and chrysanthemums until the first frosts. It is particularly useful in new gardens mixed with poppies, love-in-a-mist or cornflowers. Its pretty blooms have a long vase life and are ideal for cutting.

Planting and care
Sow Cosmos seeds from March to May, at a depth of 3mm, in a fine compost and cover the seeds with a very light sprinkle of vermiculite. Place the seed tray in a mini-greenhouse at a temperature of 18-25°C or wrap it in a polyethylene bag. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged.
Light promotes germination, which occurs 7 to 15 days after sowing. When the seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into individual pots with a diameter of 7cm.
Cultivate them in cooler conditions until the plants are sufficiently developed to be planted outdoors. When all risk of frost has passed, gradually acclimate the plants to outdoor conditions for 7 to 10 days.
Plant them in full sun, in a moist, well-drained soil, spaced 45cm apart. Pinch the tips of the shoots on each stem during transplantation to encourage branching and the production of numerous flowers.
Cosmos prefer soil with a pH between 6 and 8.5, corresponding to the soil of their native habitat, the alkaline regions of Central America. They prefer full sun but tolerate partial shade. These plants are drought-tolerant once established, they are not very susceptible to diseases but can be targeted by aphids. Spontaneous seedlings are common, but not always true to type, without becoming invasive.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
