Cosmos ‘Apricotta’

Cosmos bipinnatus This award-winning introduction shines with big, peach-colored, single blooms highlighted in iridescent, hot pink. Tall, floriferous plants reach 40 inches high for a head-turning floral display in the garden and the vase.

Cosmos like full sun. Their peak blooming time is typically mid to late August, the overall season beginning late July and lasting into September. Many of the varieties we offer are great cutting flowers. (Territorial Seed)

Zinnia ‘Zowie! Yellow Flame’
Zinnia elegans Add some shock factor to your garden palette with this AAS winner. The 2–3 inch, semi-double blooms have hot magenta-orange centers and are tipped with fiery yellow. They will produce a vibrant display on 24–30 inch plants all summer long.

Zinnias come in a diverse range of shapes, sizes, and colors—something for everybody. They are heat-loving plants, best sown at the same time that peppers are transplanted outside. Zinnias bloom during that part of summer when many other flowers have finished, from late July until the rainy season sets in, or until your first frost.  (Territorial Seed)
