Common cosmos is a tall, bushy annual that originates from Mexico.
Plants have very fine medium to bright green foliage. Throughout the
growing season they bear a profusion of delicate single daisies that
may be white, pink, violet, or crimson. Regular deadheading will
extend the life of these everblooming annuals.
Heat-loving and colorful, common cosmos requires average, well-drained
soil and full sun. All cosmos attract butterflies and are best used in
cutting gardens, mixed borders and wildflower gardens. Members of the
dwarf Sonata series may be grown in containers.  source
