Sensation Blend is a tall, showy plant with large, 3"-4" white, pink, rose, and crimson flowers. Cosmos are a superb choice for wildflower or naturalized areas, as they are drought tolerant and need very little attention. An excellent butterfly lure and cut flower. 'Sensation' won the 1936 All-America Selections award.

    Hey Nanette G.,

    What a fantastic review! We're absolutely thrilled to hear that your Sensation Blend Cosmos created such a beautiful display and are giving you that perfect combination of impressive height and abundant blooms!

    Your experience with seeding them close together sounds like it worked out wonderfully - it's so great to hear that even with that denser planting, they still managed to put on such a stunning show! That really speaks to how well-suited Sensation Blend Cosmos are for creating those full, lush displays that make such an impact in the garden. Sometimes gardeners worry about overcrowding, but your success shows that these cosmos can really handle closer spacing and still deliver that gorgeous, flower-packed performance.

    We love that you're getting both the height and the blooms that make Sensation Blend such a special mix! There's something so satisfying about cosmos that really live up to their name - they create these amazing displays that feel almost effortless but look so professionally designed. The fact that they're staying full of blooms while reaching that impressive tall stature shows they're really happy in your garden setup.

    Your experience will be so helpful for other gardeners who are planning their cosmos spacing and wondering how these beauties will perform in different planting arrangements!

    Thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful review about the stunning display your Sensation Blend is creating!

    Keep on growing 🌻️

    The package looks lovely but I haven't planted them yet so I can't say much more at this time.
