Rich, glowing orange semi-double blooms are held on sturdy stems above bushy, compact plants with slightly broader, deeply cut foliage — a hallmark of the sulphureus species. Unlike the taller \u003cem\u003ebipinnatus\u003c\/em\u003e types, sulphureus cosmos has a naturally tidy, well-branched habit that makes it ideal for borders, containers, and cottage garden edges. From summer right through to autumn, this variety pumps out bloom after bloom in a colour that radiates warmth and energy, and bees and butterflies simply cannot resist it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy Gardeners Love It\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🍊 \u003cstrong\u003eRich, glowing orange semi-double blooms\u003c\/strong\u003e — bold and fiery, a real statement colour in any garden or arrangement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🌼 \u003cstrong\u003eBushy, compact habit\u003c\/strong\u003e — naturally tidy and well-branched, great for borders and containers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✂️ \u003cstrong\u003eGood cut flower\u003c\/strong\u003e — cheerful and long-lasting in a vase, wonderful in warm-toned summer arrangements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🐝 \u003cstrong\u003eOutstanding for bees and butterflies\u003c\/strong\u003e — a magnet for pollinators throughout the season\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🌱 \u003cstrong\u003eEasy to grow from seed\u003c\/strong\u003e — fast-growing, heat-tolerant, and free-flowering in warm conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Tips for New Zealand\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCosmos sulphureus loves warmth and performs best in full sun with well-drained soil. Sow seeds directly in spring once soil has warmed, or start indoors 3–4 weeks before transplanting. Sow on the surface of moist seed-raising mix and cover lightly. Space plants 25–30 cm apart. Sulphureus types thrive in drier conditions and are more heat-tolerant than \u003cem\u003ebipinnatus\u003c\/em\u003e — avoid overwatering. Deadhead regularly to keep plants flowering prolifically from summer through to autumn. Performs beautifully throughout NZ in warm, sunny positions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the Packet\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach packet contains \u003cstrong\u003e5 seeds\u003c\/strong\u003e of Cosmos sulphureus 'Orange'.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chbotanics Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45034887708741,"sku":null,"price":4.5,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/2974\/5733\/files\/image_b0bdd5ea-18e0-447e-ba8b-6c68a830532f.png?v=1780807515","url":"https:\/\/chbotanics.co.nz\/products\/cosmos-sulphureus-orange-seeds","provider":"Chbotanics Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
