This rather special cosmos has fluted petals, each rolled round a tube, like a sea shell. The petals splay out from a button like centre. It has ferny foliage and is excellent in borders and useful for cutting.

This year is my first time at growing Cosmos 'Seashells', the seedlings have so far grown into healthy sturdy young plants, promising lots of radiant blooms.
