Cosmos

A really dependable garden favourite, Cosmos lightens up any garden. Beginning to flower in late summer, they bloom most heavily from September to frost. Cosmos flowers are a valuable source of nectar for bees and hummingbirds when other garden flowers have faded. Direct-sow 0.3cm (1/8"), covering lightly; or start indoors in pots in late April on the Coast for earlier blooms.
