Cosmos Double Click Bicolour Violet

Cosmos Double Click Bicolour (Cosmos bipinnatus) is a vibrant, eye-catching variety known for its semi-double to fully double blooms in striking combinations of pink and white. Each petal often features a magenta base that fades or blends into a creamy white tip, creating a charming two-toned effect. With its soft, feathery foliage and abundant, ruffled flowers, this cosmos variety adds both texture and colour contrast to borders and floral arrangements.
As a cut flower, Double Click Bicolour is highly valued. Its strong, slender stems and unique colouration make it a standout in bouquets and floral displays. The long-lasting blooms continue to open after being cut, extending their vase life and providing ongoing visual interest. Their playful yet elegant appearance complements both rustic and refined arrangements.
In garden borders, Double Click Bicolour adds height and volume, growing up to 80-110cm tall. It’s perfect for cottage gardens, pollinator-friendly plantings, or layered mixed borders, providing a long season of colour from midsummer until frost. Bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects are drawn to the blooms, making it both a beautiful and ecologically valuable choice.
Home gardeners will find Cosmos relatively easy to grow from seed. These drought-tolerant annuals are low-maintenance, making them suitable for beginner gardeners seeking effortless beauty.
Transplant is recommended. Start seeds indoors 5–7 weeks before the last frost date. Sow into preferred seedling container and harden off seedlings 5-7 weeks later, planting out after the danger of frost has passed. Seeds can also be sown directly into well-drained soil after the danger of frost has passed.
Cosmos prefers full sun and thrives in average to poor soil without excessive fertilisation, which can cause more foliage than blooms. Plant out seedlings with sufficient space to grow, or thin seedlings if direct sown. Pinching is recommended to encourage branching and deadhead regularly to prolong blooming.
