Description

Bring a cottage garden feel to your borders and large pots with Cosmos 'Candy Stripe'.

Exceptionally free flowering, giving a succession of white blooms with an edging of the deepest pink. With its delicate feathery foliage 'Candy Stripe' makes a lovely cut flower too. Its pollen rich, yellow centres are a magnet for bees on warm sunny days.

This half hardy annual will grow to 120cm (48in), flowering between June and October.

Supplied as a pack of approx. 100 seeds.

Care Information
  • Sow indoors, February-April, 0.5cm (¼in) deep, in trays of compost.
  • Water well and place in a warm position. A temperature of 15-20°C (60-68°F) is ideal. Keep moist. Seedlings usually appear in 14-21 days.
  • Transplant 5cm (2in) apart, to other trays when large enough to handle. Grow on in cooler conditions.
  • Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions before planting out, May-June, 30cm (1ft) apart, into well-drained soil, when all risk of frost has passed.
  • Alternatively, sow outdoors April - May where they are to flower, 1.5cm (½in) deep in finely prepared soil.
  • Flowers: June - October.
Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
