Mexican Aster 'Xsenia'
Noted for its color changing during the season, Cosmos bipinnatus ‘Xsenia’ is a dwarf, half-hardy annual boasting single, rosy-pink flowers, up to 3 in. across (7 cm), overlaid with a soft peach glow. In full sun, the petals appear pink and as the light fades in the evening or on cloudy days, the peach-coral tones become more pronounced. Blooming for months from early summer to fall, the ravishing blossoms are borne on branching stems above a fine, feathery foliage. Fairly pest-free and low maintenance, add this charming plant to the landscape, and you will be rewarded with abundant butterflies. This rich-flowering Cosmos is ideally suited for the patio and terrace and is a true eye-catcher in the border.
