Spanish explorers brought the wild species of Cosmos bipinnatus back to Madrid, Spain in the 16th century. It has become naturalized in many areas of the world, including North and South America, on islands in the Caribbean, Australia, and Asia.
The Double Click Mix Cosmos is a stunning variety of cosmos flowers known for its frilly, semi-double to fully double blooms. These flowers are part of the Cosmos bipinnatus species, which is native to Mexico and Central America. The Double Click Mix Cosmos is a favorite among gardeners for its romantic, whimsical look and ease of cultivation. It's perfect for creating a vibrant, naturalized feel in gardens or floral arrangements.
Key Features: The flowers have unique, fluffy, and ruffled petals, giving them a lush, full appearance. Some blooms may have more pronounced semi-double layers, while others are fully double. The mix includes a palette of vibrant shades, typically featuring pink, white, carmine, and occasionally bi-color blooms. The blooms are about 2-3 inches in diameter, creating a charming display. Plants generally grow 3-4 feet tall, making them a great choice for the back of flower beds or as a centerpiece in cottage gardens. The leaves are fine and feathery, adding a soft, delicate texture to the overall plant.
Growing Conditions: The Double Click Mix Cosmos thrives in full sun, though it can tolerate partial shade. It prefers well-draining soil but is tolerant of poor soil conditions. Requires moderate watering but is drought-tolerant once established. Blooms from early summer until frost, providing a long season of color. Grown as an annual in most climates but may reseed itself in warmer regions.
Special Notes: The Double Click Mix Cosmos attracts bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects. It is excellent for cutting gardens, wildflower meadows, and borders. This is a low-maintenance flower, though deadheading spent blooms can encourage continuous flowering.
