Cosmos are annual flowering plants with brightly colored, Daisy-like blooms that are borne on long, slender stems. They bloom in the summer months and attract butterflies, bees, and birds to your garden.
Cosmos is a species of flowering in the Asteraceae (sunflower) family native to the meadowland and scrubland of Mexico, where most species are found. While there are 20 recognized cosmos species[1], two annuals, Cosmos bipinnatus, and Cosmos sulphureus, are best known to home gardeners.
