Description
Cosmos sulphureus
Brighter than all the lights on Broadway…and much friendlier for pollinators!
These whimsical, airy, easy-to-grow 3-4’ tall plants bloom in bright oranges & yellows nonstop from midsummer through frost. Their cosmic beauty really draws a crown when planted en masse—bees & butterflies love them! Flowers can be used as a natural dye for textiles & yarn.
If you are looking for a Cosmos variety that works well as a cut flower, we recommend our Sensation Mix or Psyche White.
