Cosmos Double Click Rose Bon Bon

A striking, double-flowered variety known for its rich, rose-pink blooms and fluffy, carnation-like form. Each bloom features multiple layers of ruffled petals, giving it a full, romantic look that sets it apart from single-petaled cosmos. With its tall, upright habit and soft, feathery foliage, it’s an ideal choice for garden borders and cutting gardens.

As a cut flower, Double Click Rose Bon Bon excels. The sturdy, long stems and lush blooms make it a florist favourite, adding texture and volume to bouquets and arrangements. These flowers have a good vase life and continue to open after cutting, offering long-lasting beauty indoors. Their vibrant rose tones pair beautifully with both soft pastels and bold colours in mixed arrangements.

In garden borders, this cosmos variety adds height, colour, and movement. Growing up to 80-110cm tall, it creates a layered effect when planted behind lower-growing flowers. It blooms profusely from mid-summer to frost, attracting bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects, which supports garden biodiversity.

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.
