Pale Pink Cosmos 'Sensation Daydream' - tall cosmos with a romantic floral display

Cosmos 'Sensation Daydream' is an elegant cosmos with pale pink to pinkish-white flowers that deepen in colour towards the centre, creating a delicate, almost watercolour-like gradient. With its finely divided, feathery foliage and tall, airy growth, this variety brings lightness and movement to summer borders. It looks especially beautiful in naturalistic plantings, romantic cottage gardens and as a cut flower for loose summer bouquets.

Cosmos bipinnatus originally comes from Mexico and Central America and quickly became a popular garden flower in Europe because it produces an impressive abundance of flowers with little effort. The variety 'Sensation Daydream' belongs to the classic Sensation group, but clearly stands out thanks to its soft, pastel pink floral display. While many cosmos varieties are known for their bold colours, this variety impresses with its delicate colour effect and nostalgic appearance.

With a growth height of around 140 to 150 cm, 'Sensation Daydream' is particularly suitable for the back of borders, airy flower beds and larger summer flower plantings. The open flowers are often visited by bees, butterflies and other pollinators. At the same time, this variety is an excellent cut flower: regular cutting and removing faded blooms encourage repeat flowering and extend the flowering period well into autumn.

Sowing & care for Cosmos 'Sensation Daydream'

Plants can be raised indoors from March in a bright, warm place. Direct sowing outdoors is possible from April to June, as soon as no strong frosts are expected. Cover the seeds only thinly with soil, sow about 0.5 cm deep and keep them evenly slightly moist during germination, without allowing waterlogging. At temperatures of around 18 to 25 °C, the seeds usually germinate within 7 to 15 days. Cosmos prefer a sunny position that is as sheltered from wind as possible, with loose, well-drained and humus-rich soil. Soils that are too nutrient-rich mainly encourage leaf growth, so fertilise rather sparingly. If growth is very vigorous, support may be useful. Pinching out the shoot tips at a height of around 20 to 30 cm encourages a bushier habit.
