Sunset Orange Cosmos

Bright orange, double- to semi-doubled flowers with hints of lemon blaze in the summer landscape during warm temperatures. Dark green, disease-resistant foliage completes the landscape appeal. Plant this cosmos in full sun and average soils, and water enough to establish the seedlings and thereafter during periods of drought. This is a pollinator magnet, and songbirds love the seeds in late summer.
