Cosmos (Cosmos bipinnatus)
One of our favorites, Cosmos germinates quickly, blooms profusely, transplants well, and is great for cut arrangements. The foliage is fernlike. Start indoors in flats for early spring blooms.

Color: Pink, white, red• Height: 24-40 inches • Type: Annual • Lbs Per Acre: 15 • Seeds per lb: 80,800 • Sun: Full sun • Soil: Light, moderately rich

Planting requirements: full sun; prefers light, moderately dry soil. Surface sow or to no more than 1/8" deep. These plants can get almost six feet tall, so we recommend planting in an area where height is not a concern, and tying plants up or staking them, as they can get so heavy that they bend. Birds, finches in particular, love Cosmos seed, so leave the plants standing over the winter rather than cutting them down.
