About Cupcakes and Saucers Mix

Unique variety in which the individual petals of a classic cosmos have merged together to form a delicate-looking bowl with a scalloped edge. Some flowers in this white, pink, and pink-blushed mix have a rose eye and some have extra frilly petals around their gold centers. Easy to grow and stands up to rain.

One of Thompson & Morgan seed company's customers, amateur breeder Diane Engdahl of California, noticed an unusual cup-like cosmos growing in her back yard. She took the breeding of the fused petals as far as she could, then made a deal with Thompson & Morgan seed company which often improves and markets plants raised by amateurs. It took 10 years to stabilize the trait.
