Notes
'Cosmic Orange' cosmos (Cosmos 'Cosmic Orange') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, pollinator gardens, and cottage gardens. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full sun and dry to average, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It grows 12 to 24 inches tall and wide. Butterflies and bees visit the blooms, and the plant tolerates drought.
Pairs well with False Queen Anne's lace, ProCut Plum sunflower, and Cerise Queen yarrow.
