Cosmos 'Cupcakes Blush'

The crimped petals with that little ruffled center are even prettier in person, and they’ve been blooming nonstop since the first flowers opened. Honestly, I just scattered the seeds and forgot about them, and three weeks later I had a whole patch of these blushing cups swaying in the breeze.

I tossed these seeds into a patch of bare soil and within weeks had sturdy little plants. The way each soft pink petal cups inward with that ruffled center is even prettier than the photo.

The ruffled center on these blooms is even prettier in person, like little ballerina tutus. Germination was quick and the seedlings look sturdy, so I'm excited to see the crimped cups fill out once they really take off.
