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.

at what stage do you plant out & they are big enough not to get eaten..I landed up with just one plant this year...

I love Cosmos, I think they are absolutely gorgeous, I grew some last year and wanting to grow a lot more this year.....they are stunning.
