Description
Crazy Cosmos is the fluted, quilled form of Cosmos bipinnatus. Instead of flat petals the blooms carry rolled, trumpet-shaped florets in white, pink, rose and crimson, giving a bouquet real texture. Airy ferny foliage reaches 90-120 cm (3-4 ft) and flowers pour out from midsummer until frost.
