A beautiful Cosmos that delivers an early display of colour in the garden. 'Antiquity' is an upright, bushy annual with finely-divided, bright green leaves that requires little to no staking and bears daisy-like crimson to burgundy flowers maturing to sepia-bronze over time. Perfect for pots and very floriferous delivering long-lasting (up to 10 days) cut flowers for the vase.
Garden care:
Pot up and grow on under glass until all risk of frost has passed and they can be planted outside in a well-prepared bed. Pinching out the growing tips will encourage them to become bushier, and taller plants may need supporting with brushwood stems in exposed positions.
