Graceful summer flowering plants with airy daisy-like blooms, bringing soft colour, movement and pollinator activity to borders, containers and cottage-style gardens.

Cosmos ‘Apollo’ varieties are compact, free-flowering plants prized for their elegant blooms and delicate, feathery foliage. Their large daisy-like flowers appear in abundance from early summer through autumn, rising above finely divided leaves to create light, airy displays that sway gently in the breeze. These cheerful flowers add a relaxed, natural feel to planting schemes while attracting bees and other pollinators. Typically reaching 40–60cm tall with a similar spread, they form tidy clumps that perform beautifully in borders, patio containers and mixed summer displays.

Supplied as large, well-established 5L pot-grown plants, these are strong, healthy specimens with robust root systems ready to establish quickly in your garden. Carefully grown in peat-free compost at our Yorkshire nursery, each plant is nurtured to ensure reliable growth and flowering. Delivered fresh in plastic-free packaging, they provide a sustainable way to introduce vibrant summer colour and graceful movement into outdoor spaces.
