Cosmos ‘Velouette’
Standard pack: 25 seeds.
A real showstopper, with large blooms marked by deep red petals and striking clear‑white stripes. The bold contrast gives every flower a hand‑painted look, making it an eye‑catching feature in annual borders, cutting patches and cottage‑garden plantings.
Flowering from midsummer to the first frosts, this variety brings height, movement and long‑lasting colour. Cosmos thrives in full sun and poorer soils, and regular deadheading will keep the display going for months. The long stems make it excellent for cutting, and it’s a favourite with bees and butterflies.
