Discovered this via the article 13 unique and interesting plants to grow in your garden on the Greener Living Blog. There are quite a few plants I will highlight here in future posts. — Douglas

This irresistible new cosmos reminds us of the Sugarplum Fairy. The pale blush petals on this large bloomer are fused together forming a teacup shaped flower. Blooms are as big as the palm of your hand and the edges look like they have been cut with pinking shears. This romantic variety is a mix of single, semi double, streaked and solid flowers. Perfect for wedding work. A must grow!- Floret Flowers
