Garden cosmos
Cosmos bipinnatus
Garden cosmos is an easy-going, sun-loving annual that rewards gardeners with an abundance of daisy-like blooms in pink, white, and magenta from summer through frost. Sow directly in the garden after the last frost and avoid over-fertilizing, as rich soil encourages foliage over flowers. Deadhead spent blooms regularly to extend the flowering season and encourage bushy growth.
