HI ALL! MY CUSTOMERS AND I HAVE ENJOYED A LIGHT PINK/PURPLE COSMOS CALLED
VERSAILLES/ PINK EYE FROM JOHNNY'S. THE STEMS ARE FAIRLY STRONG FOR COSMOS-
THEY BLOOM FOR A VERY LONG TIME AND ARE SPECTACULAR BUNCHED WITH BLOOMING

I COULD USE A SOURCE FOR FLORAL SLEEVES. I'M IN OHIO.
LOVE THIS EXCHANGE OF INFO!
