Notes

'Giant Sensation Dazzler' cosmos (Cosmos 'Giant Sensation Dazzler') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and pollinator gardens. It is not cold-hardy and will not survive freezing temperatures. This plant likes full sun and dry to average, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Butterflies and bees visit the flowers. It handles dry spells well, so it suits a low effort bed.

Pairs well with Indian blanket, Cerise Queen yarrow, and Red fescue.
