cosmos
A sensational, upright, half-hardy annual cosmos with double white flowers, some of which may have a pink blush. 'Double Click Snow Puff' is a sought after summer infill with finely-divided foliage producing the succession of pom-pom-like blooms borne on sturdy, branching stems from summer until the first autumn frosts. Deadhead regularly to prolong the flowering season.
How to care for Cosmos bipinnatus Double Click Snow Puff (Double Click Series):
Pot on and grow on under glass until all risk of frost has passed and they can be planted outside in a well-prepared bed.
Pinch out the growing tips to encourage bushier growth, and feed at regular intervals throughout summer with a high-potash fertiliser. Taller plants may need supporting with brushwood stems in exposed positions.

Sowing instructions:
In early spring, sow seed shallowly in seed trays and keep under glass, transplanting them into individual pots when large enough to handle. Harden off before planting outside after the frosts.
Alternatively, sow in-situ in mid- to late spring in a well-prepared bed and thin the seedlings out as they grow to allow approximately 30cm between each.
