Cosmos Double Click Cranberries Seeds

 

A luxurious cosmos with fully double cranberry red blooms, ideal for cutting, borders, and pollinator gardens.

 

Cosmos Double Click Cranberries is a half-hardy annual from the Double Click series, bred for rich colour and petal fullness. Its deep carmine red flowers range from fully double to semi-double, with occasional singles adding natural variation. The blooms appear from midsummer to autumn on tall, branching stems with fine, feathery foliage.

 

This variety is a standout in bouquets and adds bold vertical interest to cottage gardens and wildlife-friendly borders. Easy to grow and drought tolerant once established, it thrives in full sun and poor to moderately fertile soil.

Sow seeds indoors from February to May in trays or pots filled with moist compost. Cover lightly and maintain a temperature of 20–22°C. Germination typically takes 7–10 days. Once seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant into individual pots and grow on. Harden off and plant out after the last frost, spacing 30–45 cm apart in full sun.

 

Alternatively, sow directly outdoors once soil has warmed. Water moderately and deadhead regularly to prolong flowering. Suitable for borders, cutting, and pollinator friendly gardens.
