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.

I love cosmos because they can take summer heat and sun. The are great for a taller background pap of color.

loved by butterflies and bees

I love watching these colorful and dainty flowers sway in the breeze! The butterflies and bees are always drawn to them and they add amazing and delicate color to the garden. They grow fairly quickly and do well in Florida's summer heat.

Bright, beautiful multiple, multiple flowers

I love this cosmos variety - the various colors are all so pretty and bright with the yellow contrasting center - the foliage is wonderful in arrangements -I won a blue ribbon for these too! They reseed themselves - the plants are as tall as I am, covered with flowers! I've found big fluffy bumblebees just snoozing on the flowers - they love them too!
