Habit
Large plants grow from 4 ft tall with feathery leaves and sturdy branching stems. Flowers are delicate colours of lemon yellow and soft rose, some with rings, and many washed in dark pink on the petal backs; blooms prolifically from summer through until first frost. Cosmos are a pollinator favourite.

Sun & Soil Requirements
Prefers full sun and well-drained soil. Thrives in average to poor soils and does not require heavy feeding. Too much fertility can encourage foliage over flowers.

Germination & Sowing Instructions
Direct sow outdoors after danger of frost has passed, or start indoors 3–4 weeks before last frost and transplant once seedlings are established. Seeds germinate easily and quickly in warm soil.

Growing & Care
Very easy to grow and low maintenance. Deadheading encourages continuous flowering, though plants will bloom freely even if allowed to self-seed. 

Harvesting
Flowers are harvested as they open for fresh bouquets. Frequent cutting promotes longer bloom periods.

Culinary Uses
Flowers are edible.

Medicinal Uses
Not commonly used but may have antioxidant properties and other medicinal properties.
