Cosmos 'Rubenza'

The two-tone effect is even prettier in person than the photos suggested, with the blooms shifting from deep burgundy to soft pink. I've been cutting them for vases and they hold up beautifully for almost a week indoors.

I planted these in a sunny spot and the color change from deep burgundy to soft pink is even prettier than the description suggests. The stems are sturdy enough that they don’t flop over after a rain shower, which is a nice bonus. Definitely grabbing another packet for next year.

The color shift from rich burgundy to soft antique pink is exactly as described, and it’s been a real conversation starter in my garden. I’ve never seen a cosmos do that before, and it looks stunning against the green foliage.
