Cosmos Apollo Carmine

Red / air_flower

‘Apollo Carmine’ is a compact, bushy, rich carmine Cosmos bipinnatus cultivar that brings the airy charm of cosmos into a tidier plant than classic tall cut-flower forms. It is inexpensive to establish from seed or plugs, easy to grow after frost in warm soil, generous when cut regularly, and attractive to pollinators. Its best use is fresh local bouquets, subscription bunches, farmstand colour, and garden-style event work where shorter stems are acceptable. It should be trialed before relying on it for long-stem florist bunches.

Cosmos Apollo Mix

White / filler_flower

Cosmos bipinnatus 'Apollo Mix' is a compact, uniform, mixed-color cosmos series blend with soft-to-bright flowers in pink, rose, carmine, white, and related tones. It is easy to grow from seed, flowers over a useful warm-season window, and brings airy movement and instant garden charm to local bouquets. It is not the best option for long-stem wholesale bunches or exact event color counts, but it is very useful for farmstand bouquets, subscriptions, flower bars, containers, bud vases, pollinator rows, and growers who want multiple Apollo colors from one seed lot.

Cosmos Apollo Pink

Pink / filler_flower

Cosmos bipinnatus 'Apollo Pink' is a compact, uniform, rose-pink cosmos with a soft daisy form and strong garden-style appeal. It is easy to grow from seed, flowers over a useful summer-to-autumn window, and brings airy movement to local bouquets. It is not the best choice where long wholesale stems or long vase life are required, but it is very useful for farmstand bouquets, subscriptions, bud vases, and romantic seasonal design.

Cosmos Apollo White

White / secondary_flower

Cosmos bipinnatus ‘Apollo White’ is a compact, pure-white, single-flowered cosmos for growers who want a clean white daisy shape without the height and sprawl of older cosmos strains. It is easy to grow from seed, flowers over a long summer-to-autumn window, and works well in local mixed bouquets, subscriptions, u-pick beds, and container or farmstand plant sales. Its main planning caution is that it is not a tall florist cosmos: use it where shorter, cheerful white stems are acceptable, and trial it before relying on it for long-stem wedding or wholesale bunches.

Cosmos Apricot Lemonade

Yellow / secondary_focal

Cosmos ‘Apricot Lemonade’ is a soft, romantic annual cosmos with apricot, lemon, cream and blush tones that makes beautiful local bouquet material. It is easy from seed, productive when pinched and harvested frequently, and especially valuable for growers serving pastel weddings, subscriptions and garden-style bouquets. Its main limitations are shorter stems than tall cutting cosmos, delicate petals, modest vase life and mildew risk late in the crop.

Cosmos Apricotta

Apricot / secondary_flower

Cosmos bipinnatus ‘Apricotta’ is a premium color form of garden cosmos with apricot, peach, salmon, and pink tones that fit modern wedding and subscription palettes beautifully. It should be grown like other cosmos, but sold more carefully: cut early, hydrate fast, keep cool, and move quickly through local florists, bouquet subscriptions, farmstand bunches, and event work. Its color gives it stronger market value than ordinary cosmos, but only when stems are clean, fresh, and well handled.

Cosmos Bright Lights Mix

Yellow / Focal

‘Bright Lights Mix’ is the sunny, warm-colour cosmos for local summer bouquets. It gives cheerful yellow, gold, orange, tangerine, and flame flowers from inexpensive seed and is forgiving in heat, but it should be harvested early, sold quickly, and used for informal local markets rather than long-distance premium cuts.

Cosmos Brightness Red

Red / Focal

Cosmos sulphureus ‘Brightness Red’ is a compact, hot-coloured annual that gives masses of vivid red to red-orange semi-double flowers with golden centres on short, airy plants. It is easy from seed, tolerant of heat and lean soil, and excellent for pollinators, farmstand colour and small cheerful posies. For a flower farmer, its limitation is clear: it is not a tall, premium cosmos for long-stem florist bunches. Grow it where its short stems are an advantage — mini bouquets, children’s bunches, u-pick rows, containers, front-of-bed colour and bright subscription accents.

Cosmos Candy Stripe

White / filler

‘Candy Stripe’ is a bicolour, single-flowered Cosmos bipinnatus selection for growers who want playful white-and-pink stems with strong cottage-garden appeal. It is quick from seed, inexpensive to grow, highly useful in mixed bouquets, and visually distinctive in a way that helps local flowers stand apart from imported commodity stems. It should be planned as a fresh local summer annual with frequent cutting, support, moderate fertility, and quick sales rather than as a long-storage wholesale crop.
