No summer garden should be without these lovely blooms nodding in the breeze! Easily established from Cosmos seeds, these annuals are large branching plants with deep green fern-like leaves. Cosmos Bipinnatus Radiance is a newer hybrid that added a darker rose pink flare at the bottom of each petal & pink veins. The effect is shear beauty! It grows readily from flower seeds, & soon you’ll have a beautiful display! Cosmos wildflowers are native to our own southwest & more commonly, Mexico. The flowers are often called Mexican Aster. They do well in hot, desert-type areas, but they easily adapt to many conditions & thrive. They will provide the best blooms with moderate amounts of water. Do not over-fertilize the plants as this will decrease the amount of blooms. They will self-sow their own seeds for a new display next season. Directly sow Cosmos Bipinnatus seeds into prepared seed beds after danger of frost has passed. For a natural setting, the flower seeds can be scattered onto the prepared soil. Lightly rake the soil over the seeds at a depth of 1/16 inch & keep the area moist.
