This cosmos is a very showy plant, which forms a nice compact bush, has unusual terracotta rose coloured flowers, in many shades , which give a bouquet of the flowers a glowing quality. The flowers are rose at the edges and flower center, with terracotta orange in the mid-petals. As the flower matures, the colour fades to a warm, antique rose, the flower petals are tightly packed and the plant grows in a compact form to approx 65cm.
