My personal #1 variety of cosmos, have planted them for many years. Full, tall, and loaded with blooms. If you like orange you can't go wrong with these. Photo shown of plants that re-seeded from last year's plants with no help from me. Give them plenty of room! They're huge! Also shown, California Giant zinnias.
Easy to grow. They are lovely. Only thing that would make them better would be if they made it through the harsh winter. Like them so much, I’ll replant each season as long as I can. :)
These were the loveliest addition to my yard! They are tall and graceful in the breeze and add such a bright pop of color next to the purple and blue salvias. Will definitely buy some more!
I planted the Bright Lights cosmos seeds late last spring. The plants remained smallish through much of the summer, then in the fall they took off, with so many flowers. Two of the plants are 6-7' tall. It is now Oct 27, and they continue to bloom. (I'm in zone 10A, Bay Area in California)
Cosmos send love with their cheery flowers. The variation in color was not like the photo. Only 1 color of lighter orange on bright lights. Bloomed well into fall.
I plant these in a prairie setting in Michigan. Many people have commented how striking they are plus the are long lasting and will re-seed. easy to grow
Great germination rate, drought tolerant, beautiful blooms. Some are towering at over 5'. Mix in with a wildflower field and the hummingbirds, bees, butterflies and birds will remain constant visitors.
