Cosmos bipinnatus 'Apricotta' (Cosmos bipinnatus 'Apricotta') is a beautifully warm, generously blooming cosmos that brings a distinctive, cupped and softly ruffled floral form to the beloved cosmos genus — producing large, 2–3 inch blooms with slightly ruffled, cupped petals in a richly warm palette of apricot, peach, and soft rose that glows with a gentle, honeyed warmth entirely different in character from the flat, open-petaled blooms of standard cosmos selections. The cupped, ruffled petal form gives each 'Apricotta' bloom a beautifully three-dimensional quality — a fullness and depth of structure that recalls old-fashioned cottage garden roses more than the typical cosmos silhouette — while retaining all the airy, naturalistic grace of the species on tall, freely branching stems clothed in delicate, finely cut bright green ferny foliage. The warm apricot-peach-rose palette has a blushed, sunset-like richness that partners beautifully with creamy whites, warm golds, and soft lavenders in mixed cottage and naturalistic plantings.

This professional-grade 4" plant arrives with a healthy, well-established root system cultivated through professional horticultural practices — ready to establish quickly and begin producing its generous floral display. 'Apricotta' excels in cottage gardens, cutting gardens, mixed annual borders, and naturalistic wildflower-inspired plantings where its warm, ruffled, cupped blooms create a richly colorful, romantically beautiful seasonal display. It is a particularly outstanding cut flower — the cupped, ruffled form holds exceptionally well in fresh arrangements and brings the warm, blushed glow of the late-summer garden indoors with genuine cottage-garden character and charm.

  • Distinctive Cupped & Ruffled Petal Form: Large, 2–3 inch blooms with slightly ruffled, cupped petals give each flower a beautifully three-dimensional quality and a fullness of structure that recalls old-fashioned cottage garden roses — a uniquely refined flower form that distinguishes 'Apricotta' from all flat-petaled standard cosmos selections.
  • Warm Apricot, Peach & Soft Rose Palette: A richly warm, blushed palette of apricot, peach, and soft rose glows with a honeyed sunset warmth that brings a genuine romantic character and soft seasonal richness to cottage gardens, cutting gardens, and naturalistic mixed border plantings throughout the warm season.
  • Prolific Naturalistic Floral Display: Produces an abundant, continuous succession of large, warmly colored ruffled blooms on tall, freely branching stems throughout summer and into fall — the classic cosmos generosity of bloom here delivered in a more refined, three-dimensional floral form of real ornamental distinction.
  • Outstanding Cottage Garden Cut Flower: The cupped, ruffled blooms hold beautifully in fresh-cut arrangements and deliver a warm, blushed, romantically cottage-garden aesthetic to indoor floral displays — 'Apricotta' is among the most ornamentally rewarding cosmos selections available for the cutting garden.
  • Heat Tolerant & Self-Sufficient: Thrives in the heat of summer with minimal care in lean, well-drained soil — cosmos rewards lean conditions with the most prolific and sustained floral display, making 'Apricotta' a genuinely low-maintenance, high-reward warm-season annual for any sunny garden position.

These 4" healthy live plants thrive in full sun (6+ hours daily) with well-drained, lean to average soil; avoid overly rich, fertile conditions — lean soil produces the most prolific and long-lasting bloom display. Water moderately during establishment, then water sparingly. Grow as a warm-season annual; frost-sensitive. Transplant outdoors after the last frost date. Mature height: 24–36 inches; spread: 12–18 inches. Bloom time: summer through first frost. Deadhead regularly to encourage continued abundant flowering or allow seed heads to form for self-seeding naturalization.

We use expedited shipping policies to protect plant health and minimize plant stress in transit.  All plants are in transit for only 1-3 days. (This does not guarantee 3-day delivery as orders are not always packed and sent out on the day of your order.) We send out deliveries on a weekly schedule to ensure quick transit times, so your order may not be packaged and shipped until later in the week. For instance, we may hold shipments to avoid weekend delays that keep plants in transit for longer.

All packaging includes eco-friendly material and our shipping methods are tested regularly to ensure plants arrive healthy upon arrival.

Additionally, any delays or damages in shipping are covered by our Healthy Plant Guarantee.
