Cosmos sulphureus
A dwarf variety of brightly-colored Cosmos growing at a corner of our backyard. Cosmos sulphureus is also known as Sulfur Cosmos and Yellow Cosmos. Its native habitat is Central America. This species of Cosmos is considered a half-hardy annual, although plants may re-appear via self-sowing for several years. Its foliage is opposite and pinnately divided. The plant height varies from one to seven feet. The original and its cultivars appear in shades of yellow, orange, and red. The flowers of all Cosmos attract birds and butterflies, including the Monarch butterfly.

Looks a lot like the variety 'Sunny Red' mentioned in this site - http://rotarygardens.blogspot.com/2013/0.... Reference: http://www.theflowerexpert.com/content/a....
