Cosmos - Capriola

There's a light-footed grace to Cosmos bipinnatus 'Capriola', its name means "little leap" in Italian, and the flowers really do seem to dance. Delicate pink blooms flutter above the characteristic feathery cosmos foliage on tall, wiry stems that sway with every passing breeze, giving borders and plantings a wonderfully animated, meadow-in-motion feeling from summer through fall.

Easy, generous, and unfussy, 'Capriola' is a dream for beginner and expert gardeners alike. It reseeds freely, so you may find it faithfully returning each season once established. Bees and butterflies find it irresistible, and it makes a beautifully airy cut flower for casual, garden-gathered arrangements. Plant in sun to part shade with regular water, and it will bloom its heart out.

Use 'Capriola' to soften bold, structural plantings, to fill gaps in borders with weightless pink color, or to create that loose, romantic cottage-garden feel that looks effortless but is absolutely on purpose. A joyful, dancing plant for gardens of all sizes.
