Each large bloom opens in a rich ruby-red that softens to warm dusky rose-pink as the flower matures, creating a beautiful gradient of colour across the plant at any one time. The blooms have a velvety, luminous quality that is simply stunning in the border and extraordinary in a vase. Feathery, fine-cut foliage adds to the airy, romantic feel that cosmos is loved for. A must-have for anyone who wants something bold, beautiful, and a little bit different.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Gardeners Love It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🌹 \u003cstrong\u003eRich ruby-red blooms that soften to warm rose-pink as they mature\u003c\/strong\u003e — a beautiful, ever-changing jewel-toned display\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✂️ \u003cstrong\u003eOutstanding cut flower\u003c\/strong\u003e — long stems and a deep, velvety colour that makes a dramatic statement in any arrangement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🌿 \u003cstrong\u003eFeathery fine-cut foliage\u003c\/strong\u003e — light and airy, adding movement and texture to borders and bouquets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🐝 \u003cstrong\u003eExcellent for bees and butterflies\u003c\/strong\u003e — a magnet for pollinators throughout summer and autumn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🌱 \u003cstrong\u003eEasy to grow from seed\u003c\/strong\u003e — fast-growing, free-flowering, and self-seeds gently in the right conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Tips for New Zealand\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSow indoors 4–6 weeks before the last frost, or direct sow in spring once soil has warmed. Sow seeds on the surface of moist seed-raising mix and cover lightly. Transplant seedlings to 30–45 cm apart in a sunny, open position with well-drained soil. Cosmos thrives in poor to average soils — avoid overfeeding which encourages lush foliage at the expense of flowers. Deadhead regularly to extend flowering from summer right through to autumn. Performs beautifully throughout NZ in any warm, sunny position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the Packet\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach packet contains \u003cstrong\u003e5 seeds\u003c\/strong\u003e of Cosmos bipinnatus 'Rubenza'.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chbotanics Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45034824335429,"sku":null,"price":4.5,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/2974\/5733\/files\/image_7a4af3c7-ac77-416d-a584-e40a3a019806.png?v=1780798773","url":"https:\/\/chbotanics.co.nz\/products\/cosmos-bipinnatus-rubenza-seeds","provider":"Chbotanics Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
