Notes
'Dazzler' cosmos (Cosmos bipinnatus 'Dazzler') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, pollinator gardens, and containers. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist soil of most types. Deer tend to browse other plants first. It grows fast into a clumping plant that reaches 35 to 47 inches tall. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees visit the blooms.
Pairs well with Black-eyed Susan, Lemon Mint monarda, and Red fescue.
