The airy cottage-garden flower worth a spot in your garden

Cosmos (Cosmos bipinnatus) are graceful, fast-growing annuals prized for their delicate, daisy-like blooms held aloft on tall, wispy, fern-like foliage. Ranging from soft pink and pure white to deep magenta and crimson, they lend a relaxed, cottage-garden feel to any border and sway beautifully in the breeze. Famously undemanding, cosmos actually flower best in lean soil and full sun, making them one of the easiest and most generous flowers a gardener can grow.

How to grow cosmos from seed

Cosmos are wonderfully simple from seed. Sow them about a quarter inch deep in a sunny, well-drained spot after the last frost, then thin plants to stand nine to eighteen inches apart. Seeds germinate in about one to two weeks and plants bloom in roughly 60 to 90 days, and pinching young plants and deadheading spent blooms keeps them flowering until frost. Cosmos self-sow readily, so a single planting often returns on its own. For the full step-by-step, see our complete guide to growing cosmos from seed.

How to use cosmos

Cosmos are grown mainly for their airy, romantic color in beds and borders and for cutting. Their long stems and open, daisy-like flowers make relaxed, wildflower-style bouquets, and regular cutting only encourages more blooms. In the garden cosmos are a favorite of bees, butterflies, hoverflies, and beneficial insects, so they are a wonderful choice for pollinator plantings and for edging a vegetable patch. Their tall, see-through habit also makes them a lovely informal screen or backdrop.

Cosmos and its cheerful annual cousins

If you love cosmos, you will enjoy the other easy, sun-loving annuals it pairs with. Try zinnia for bold, jewel-toned cutting flowers, marigold for warm gold and orange color, or calendula and nasturtium for more pollinator-friendly, edible-petaled blooms. Explore the full range in our flower seeds collection.
