The pretty cosmos Sensation flowers bloom in various shades of pink and white. A ring of toothed petals (ligulate flowers) radiates around the yellow heart composed of fertile florets. These cheerful, easy-to-grow flowers are content with little: ordinary, rather poor soil and a little water during extreme heatwaves. Be careful, very rich soils delay flowering by stimulating foliage growth. For better branching, pinch the tips of the stems when the plant is 15 cm tall. The flowers bloom all summer and attract many beneficial insects such as pollinators, as well as some predators. For example, the green lacewing particularly likes its white flowers. The larvae of this insect are very useful in biological control programs because they feed on aphids, mealybugs, and thrips. Moreover, gardeners dealing with large deer populations appreciate the fact that cosmos does not interest them at all!
