is this a new cosmos hybrid ?

I love Cosmos Zz....such a great return they give.....and yes I've seen this bi-colour one before...in a gardening mag probably, a couple of the seeds could have got in with yours when packing? It looks similar to Dream Picotee, there are pics of this one on Ebay...........

Really lovely....

hello Janey

thankyou for your suggestion of the Dream Picotee.... ..looks somewhat similar ..... but still ....different...

i would not be surprise if it was a rogue seeds got inwith the " Sensation Mix "

Shall you keep some seeds from this one Zz and see what comes of them nextyear?

Hi Janey

i will try ...
i think i will l also ..ask if my local nursery will try for me ...

I would keep the seed to yourself They could pass it off as their own breed.. Or it may just be a natural cross from another plants that has happened where the plants are grown for seed harvesting.

Hi Nick-yt08

i been searching the net .. . at at last ....found some images from Japan with similar colour pattern /shape,
I will collect the seeds and ..fingers cross seem mroe of them next year .
