Cosmos.

Having just realised that the Apollo Pink cosmos I have recently planted only grows to 65 cms, can anyone recommend a tall pink cosmos either annual or perennial please?
Thank you.

    In the past I have had some pink cosmos called Fizzy Pink (I think this was a double or bipinnatus) and the other Sonata which grew tall, I don't have them this year as I have gone for darker colours Rubenza and Click Cranberries

    I grew Dazzler last year... grew enormous (almost 5ft). Dark pink. Am growing again this year, but am going to pinch out, hopefully to stem the height, and render more bushy...

    Thank you both for your suggestions.  5' does seem a bit on the tall side, but I bet it was impressive.  Sonata is a good one, I have grown it before.

    I have found that the weather, situation and soil conditions can have a noticeable effect on the height of many cosmos.

    I suspect this is the case for most plants.
