Garden Cosmos

Cosmos bipinnatus

Description:

The simple, daisylike flowers appear in cheery shades on tall stems that are great for cutting. The lacy foliage makes a great backdrop for shorter plants, as well. Cosmos often self-seeds in the garden, so you may only have to plant it once, though the colors can appear muddy or odd in the reseeders..

Habitat:

Near farm.

Notes:

These are cosmos plants planted from seeds to attract butterflies in the garden.
