Cosmos is a hardy, erect annual requiring very little moisture once established. A native of Mexico, it can easily adapt to all regions of the United States. The attractive flowers are a mixture of stunning deep crimson, soft pink and pure white. They bloom summer through fall—how can you beat that! The delicate looking leaves are deeply dissected, almost threadlike in appearance.
