Floss Flower is a compact, sun-loving annual prized for its continuous display of fluffy, soft rose-pink, button-like blooms that sit neatly above lush green foliage. This highly floriferous selection from the Bumble series is known for its uniform, mounding habit, excellent heat tolerance, and nonstop flowering from late spring until frost. Its nectar‑rich blossoms draw butterflies and bees, making it a standout choice for pollinator gardens, mixed containers, window boxes, and sunny landscape borders or edging. With its tidy form and reliable performance in garden settings, Bumble Rose offers warm, textured beauty with minimal maintenance.

Growing Floss Flower

Light: Full sun to partial shade; produces the most abundant blooms in full sun, but appreciates light afternoon shade in regions with extremely hot summers.

Soil: Well‑drained, fertile soil; highly adaptable but performs best in organically rich mixtures and will not tolerate soggy roots.

Water: Moderate; water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, especially in extreme heat, but allow the surface to dry slightly between waterings.

Maintenance: Deadheading spent flowers is not strictly necessary but promotes a cleaner appearance and encourages even more continuous blooming.

Wildlife: Highly attractive to butterflies, bees, and other beneficial pollinators; generally resistant to deer and rabbits.

Hardiness: Perennial in USDA zones 10–11; grown as an annual in cooler regions.
