Bring the classic charm of cosmos to the garden with Dwarf Sensation Early Mix. Enjoy the airy cosmos blooms on a more compact and manageable plant, perfect for smaller spaces or front-of-border plantings. This early blooming mix features cheerful, daisy-like flowers in a soft blend of pink, white, and rose tones. Reaching just 12 inches tall, these bushy, well-branched plants offer continuous color from early summer to frost. Known for their easy growth, excellent drought tolerance, and ability to attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, this dwarf cosmos mix is ideal for gardeners seeking low-maintenance, high-impact color in a neat package.
Commonly known as Mexican Aster, Dwarf Sensation Early Mix is a natural fit for cottage gardens, containers, borders, and wildflower plantings. Its shorter height makes it ideal for front rows or small-space gardens, where traditional tall cosmos may overwhelm. This mix pairs beautifully with marigolds, zinnias, alyssum, and snapdragons, creating a lively and pollinator-friendly display. The flowers are also great for cutting, adding a soft, airy touch to fresh arrangements with their delicate petals and fern-like foliage.
Cosmos thrive in full sun and average to poor, well-drained soil. Direct sow in the garden after all danger of frost as passed, or start indoors 4 to 6 weeks prior to last frost date. Dwarf Sensation Early Mix is particularly well-suited for hot, dry conditions and blooms earlier than standard varieties, extending your flower season. It delivers all the charm of traditional cosmos in a more refined form, making it a favorite for both beginner and experienced gardeners looking for effortless summer color.
