Cupcakes Blush Cosmos Seed
Cupcakes Blush Cosmos Seed
Novel cosmos resemble fluted cupcake wrappers.
Cupcakes Blush is as showy as Double Click with lighter-weight blooms held upright on strong stems. The light-colored, finely pleated blooms float above the foliage, reminding us of Degas' paintings of ballerinas. A small percentage of flowers have lovely tufted centers.Specs:
