Growing Information
Growing Sweet Dreams Cosmos
‘Sweet Dreams’ is an open-pollinated cosmos prized for its delicate bicolor blooms, early flowering, and compact growth habit. Pure white petals are edged in soft red and surround deep red centers, creating a striking picotee effect with more pronounced striping and borders than many similar cosmos varieties.
Plant ‘Sweet Dreams’ seeds about ¼ inch deep and space plants 12 to 18 inches apart. Germination typically takes 7 to 10 days. Compact plants reach about 9 to 12 inches tall and offer excellent heat and drought tolerance.
Ready to bloom in about 70 days, enjoy the flowers as they open and reach their best display stage. The early-flowering plants provide a steady supply of delicate bicolor blooms throughout the season.
Soft, distinctive, and compact, ‘Sweet Dreams’ is an excellent choice for ornamental beds, borders, cut flower gardens, and pollinator-friendly plantings.
