About Sulphur Cosmos Seeds - Crest Orange

Cosmos sulphureus

Seed Type Open Pollinated Seed
Also known as Mexican Aster

This is the classic "sulphur" or simply, "orange" cosmos that is often cited as one of the most stunning of all the meadow wildflowers. An extremely vigorous, resilient, and colorful flower, it is a favorite of both home gardeners and the US state Department of Transportation, which plant it in abundance along the highways and byways of the country because of its ability to dazzle. A mid to late season bloomer, it is best appreciated when planted in abundance.
