Description
Those who possess a brown thumb, rejoice: cosmos flowers can grow in your garden in spite of you. In fact, these flowers prefer a bit of neglect. As an added bonus, cosmos plants provide height without ever flopping over, no supports required. Discover what these tough, pest-free annuals can bring to your landscape.
Many cosmos flowers sport lacy foliage similar to ferns or asparagus that is beautiful in its own right. Petals of single varieties surround a small yellow pollen disk with a simple ray form; double varieties may resemble little carnations. A wide range of color options is available for the gardener, including all hues of pink, red, yellow, and orange. White and picotee colors are also sold.
Cosmos flowers are a butterfly garden no-brainer. They attract many butterflies including monarchs, painted ladies, and swallowtails.
