Produces an abundance of colorful blooms from midsummer into fall, possibly to first frost in cooler climates. The plants range in height from 20 to 32 inches tall and exhibit a unique color blend of yellow and pink/lavender blooms. Borne singly on long willowy stems, the daisy-esque blooms make great cut flowers for sweet summer bouquets and mixed floral displays. Left in the garden, the nectar-rich blooms beckon to bees, butterflies and hummingbirds. With an upright, clumping habit, they’re perfect for garden beds and borders. Cosmos self-seeds so this blend is also a great option for naturalized areas. Cosmos are great companion plants in an organic vegetable garden too, as they offer natural pest control. Grows best in a sunny spot with dry, well-draining soil. Image courtesy of Park Seed.
