Soil: Well-drained, prefers poor to moderately fertile

Flower Color: A delightful mix of pink, white, and carmine, with semi-double to fully double blooms

Planting Tips: Cosmos 'Fizzy' thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, showing a remarkable preference for poor to moderately fertile conditions, which encourage more blooms. Plant seeds directly in the garden after the last frost, or start indoors for earlier flowering. Space plants 18-24 inches apart to ensure adequate growth and air circulation, which promotes overall plant health and maximizes the floral display.

How to Grow: One of the most appealing aspects of Cosmos 'Fizzy' is its ease of care. Water regularly during the plant's first few weeks to establish roots. Once established, 'Fizzy' is drought-tolerant and requires minimal maintenance. Deadheading spent flowers can encourage continuous blooming, but leaving some late-season blooms to go to seed will provide food for birds and allow for natural reseeding.

Garden Use: The unique, frilly flowers of Cosmos 'Fizzy' make it an excellent choice for adding texture and color to borders, mixed beds, and cottage gardens. Its height and airy structure provide a lovely backdrop for lower-growing plants, while its vibrant blooms are perfect for creating stunning cut flower arrangements. 'Fizzy' can also be planted in groups or drifts for a more dramatic impact in the garden.

Special Notes: In addition to its ornamental appeal, Cosmos 'Fizzy' is a pollinator-friendly variety, attracting bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects to the garden. Its easy-to-grow nature and long blooming season make it an excellent choice for gardeners looking to add continuous color and life to their outdoor spaces. With 'Fizzy', gardeners can enjoy the beauty and vibrancy of cosmos with an added twist of texture and variety.
