The Kew Pollinators range of seeds from Thompson and Morgan has been specially created alongside the experts at Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew to attract and support a wide range of pollinators, including bees, butterflies and beetles, as well as a number of other important pollinating insects. Helping these pollinators to thrive is hugely important for our eco-system as a whole and these seeds, in their striking packaging inspired by artwork from the Kew archives, will help to create the environment which they need to thrive, with varieties chosen to help a wide range of pollinating insects, including some night flowering plants to help moths which also play an important part in our gardens.
Tall, ferny foliage topped with bright, single blooms that range from white glacial white to carmine pink. This cheery annual provides a bold splash of colour to the back of borders, mingling beautifully with summer flowering perennials. Their strong stems and good vase life make Cosmos an excellent choice as a cut flower, but pollinating insects will thank you for leaving some in the border where they provide a valuable source of nectar. Cosmos bipinnatus is quick and easy to grow, virtually looking after itself once established. Height: 120cm (47"). Spread: 60cm (24").
