Stunning Two-Tone Blooms for Endless Summer Color

Cosmos Antiquity is a captivating annual flower that brings a unique antique charm to any garden. These fast-growing plants mature quickly, producing an abundance of 2-inch blooms throughout the summer season. What sets Antiquity apart is its remarkable color-changing ability – flowers open as deep, dark crimson and gradually fade to matte pink, creating a mesmerizing two-tone effect.

This versatile ornamental variety serves as an excellent choice for borders, cottage gardens, and cutting gardens. Its compact 15-inch height makes it perfect for containers or small spaces, while still providing a dramatic visual impact. Antiquity’s ever-changing hues and golden centers not only create a stunning display but also attract beneficial pollinators like bees and butterflies, enhancing your garden’s ecosystem.

Cosmos Antiquity thrives in full sun and average soil conditions, making it an easy-to-grow option for gardeners of all levels. These plants have an average growth rate and bloom continuously when properly maintained. Regular deadheading encourages a prolonged flowering period, ensuring your garden remains vibrant well into the fall.

Growing Success Tips:

• Sow seeds directly in the garden after the last frost date
• Space plants 12-18 inches apart to allow for proper air circulation
• Pinch out growing tips when seedlings have 2-3 pairs of leaves for bushier growth
• Water moderately and avoid overwatering to prevent root rot

Cosmos Antiquity offers a low-maintenance solution for gardeners seeking unique, long-lasting color. Its distinctive fading pattern and abundant blooms make it a standout choice for both novice and experienced plant enthusiasts alike.

For best results, plant Cosmos Antiquity in groups of 3-5 to create a fuller, more impactful display.
