Cosmos – Fizzy White ~25 Seeds

Cosmos ‘Fizzy White’ is a romantic, free-flowering annual that brings elegance and movement to the summer garden. Its petals are finely fluted, with a quilled, almost pleated look that gives blooms a frothy, textural appeal. The pure white blossoms float gracefully above airy green foliage on long, strong stems — perfect for cutting. These blooms glow in borders, cottage gardens, and meadow-style plantings, where their daisy-like charm attracts bees and butterflies.

Unlike standard cosmos, ‘Fizzy White’ has a unique, frilled shape that looks sophisticated in arrangements, pairing beautifully with soft pinks, pastels, or bold jewel tones.

An easy-to-grow favourite, it thrives in poor soil, tolerates drought once established, and rewards you with weeks of blooms from midsummer until frost. Whether you’re cutting them for bouquets or letting them dance in the breeze, these cosmos are sure to add a dreamy touch to your garden.

Growing Instructions
Sow indoors (recommended) 4–6 weeks before the last frost, or direct sow once the soil has warmed. Cover lightly, as seeds need some darkness to germinate. Keep soil moist until seedlings emerge in 7–10 days at 70°F (21°C). Thin or transplant to allow for good airflow and sturdy growth. Cosmos prefer poor soil and too much fertilizer or nitrogen will result in way more foliage than flowers. Deadhead regularly for extended bloom.

FAQ

Q: How does Cosmos ‘Fizzy White’ differ from Cosmos ‘Cupcake White’?
A: Both are white cosmos with unique petal forms, but they have distinct looks. ‘Fizzy White’ has finely quilled, pleated petals that create a frilly, textured appearance. In contrast, ‘Cupcake White’ has cupped, fused petals that resemble little cupcake wrappers, giving blooms a smoother, bowl-like form. Both make excellent cut flowers, but ‘Fizzy White’ offers a more lacy, feathery look in arrangements, while ‘Cupcake White’ gives a clean, modern silhouette.
