Burpee Cosmos Summer Dreams are a unique and delicate favorite. Papery white petals are brushed with hot pink surrounding a canary yellow center. Can grow well in containers and garden beds.
These were very quick and easy to grow from seed. Although a little more pink, the coloration for the most part resembled the picture on the packet (the bottom flower more so than the top) and are even more lovely in person :) It's also a bonus that they're rabbit and deer resistant as I live right next to the woods. Would highly recommend Summer Dreams Cosmos as they're easy to grow, drought tolerant, and simply beautiful flowers!

Summer Dream Cosmos
Summer Dream Cosmos, are my absolute favorite annual. Since they tend to self seed I continuously plant them in the same area each year. I mix them with other varieties of various colors of cosmos as well as my perenials.
I love to watch them on a bright sunny day with a gentle breeze pushing them back and forth. I find them to be a very delicate flower with great resistance to disease and pests.
I do buy additional packets so I have them for next season. I actually have some that have come back from prior years due to dropping the seeds. Highly recommend this particular variety.
