Notes
'Yellow Flare' cosmos (Cosmos 'Yellow Flare') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, pollinator gardens, and cottage gardens. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. This plant likes full sun and dry to average, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Butterflies and bees visit the blooms. It is drought tolerant, so it suits a low-care spot.
Pairs well with Sunrich Gold sunflower, Cerise Queen yarrow, and Red fescue.
