Fleuroselect Approved Novelty Winner. The lovely new Xsenia cosmos will catch your eye with its deep pink-tipped terra-cotta orange flowers. Tightly arranged petals surround a bright yellow button. The pink tone dominates when flowers are in the full sun. The orange shade is more prevalent in the mornings, evenings and on cloudy days. Graceful, lacy, well-branched plants reach 24 in. tall and 16 in. wide. Xsenia is equally useful in medium to large containers and garden beds, and supplies many long-lasting cut flowers throughout the summer season.
