The decorative basket, the German name for Cosmea bippinata, is an annual ornamental plant that requires the same care. It blooms from around May, with a little help from you until late autumn, provided the temperatures don't drop too low.
When is the heyday of the jewelry basket?
The jewel basket (Cosmea bippinata) blooms from May until autumn if the wilted flowers are regularly removed and the plant is cared for in a sunny location. The flower colors vary from white to pink and red to purple.
The flower color varies depending on the variety, from white to pink and red to shades of purple. The non-hardy decorative basket is ideal as a cut flower. If you regularly remove the wilted flowers of your Cosmea, it will continue to form new buds until the first frost. However, you should plant your decorative basket in a sunny location.
The most important things in brief:
- Flowering period from May to autumn
- regular cutting promotes flower formation
- sparse or no flowering in the shade
- Flower colors: white, pink, red, purple
- not hardy
Tip
Cut off the withered inflorescences of your Cosmea regularly so that your decorative basket will continue to bloom again.
