About Cosmos
Cosmos are freely flowering annual plants that are easy to grow and reach full maturity within two months. If you’re looking for a flower that will stay in bloom for months and can be grown by simply scattering seeds after any danger of frost, cosmos are a great choice. The flowers sit atop long slender stems and form a cloud of color that not only looks attractive throughout the summer but also attract bees, butterflies, and birds to your garden.
Cosmos are quintessential cottage garden flowers and mix well with just about everything. The taller varieties look good in the middle or rear of the border, with spiky flowers such as agastache and goat’s beard, and with flowers such as coneflowers and black-eyed Susans. Shorter varieties make very colorful, airy edging plants.
