This cosmos which won an award of Garden Merit from the RHS has striking dark red flowers with narrow white stripes . Sometimes the flowers are just plain deep mahogany, and other times they are mostly white, but by and large they are a very arresting dark red with white strips. Flower growers love their long stems for flower bouquets and gardeners love the abundance of flowers that they produce. Overall this is a favourite with many .
