Notes
'Cotton Candy' cosmos (Cosmos 'Cotton Candy') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, pollinator gardens, and cottage gardens. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and dry to average, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It handles drought well. Butterflies and bees visit the blooms, which open from spring through autumn.
Pairs well with Indian blanket, Cerise Queen yarrow, and Snow on the mountain.
