Product Description

The deepest, darkest chocolate coloured Cosmos yet, ‘Eclipse’ will offset any colourful displays in style, creating brilliant contrasts in containers and borders.

What’s more, each flower produces an incredible, garden-filling chocolate fragrance that is utterly intoxicating! Pick fresh, sweetly scented flowers to adorn your home, or leave them in your garden as a magnet to bees and butterflies.

‘Eclipse’ is a half-hardy perennial. Although hardy to -5°C, it will need projection from the coldest winter weather. Either move pot grown plants to shelter or apply a thick mulch over those that are growing in the ground. Alternatively, dig up the tubers and store frost-free over winter.

Supplied as 6 jumbo plug plants, ready to pot on or plant out, growing to a height and spread of 50cm (20in).

Plant Information

Top Tips

  • When deadheading your Cosmos, don't just take the flower head off, but cut the stems right back to the first leaf below the flower head.

Care Guide

  • Unpack plugs immediately and stand them in water for an hour.
  • If you can’t do this, they can sit in their mini greenhouse for a week if upright and not too wet.
  • Plugs may be slightly dry or yellow after being in a dark box in the post, but they’ll quickly recover.
  • Put them somewhere warm, light and airy such as a windowsill or greenhouse.
  • When potting on, handle plugs carefully. Pot on using our 9cm pots in Shuttle Trays, using good multi-purpose compost.
  • Give your plants a good water initially, then only when the top compost starts to dry. They don’t like to be left in standing water.
  • Feed using a high-potash feed such as Blooming Fast Superior Soluble Fertiliser for Flowers & Fruits, to encourage flowering.
  • Dead head when flowers fade to encourage more flowers.
  • Hardy to -5°C, provide winter protection of dig up and store the tubers.
