Bright Lights Cosmos

(Cosmos sulphureus) Vibrant yellow, gold, and orange flowers atop wispy stems and airy, thread-like leaves.  Plants grow 24-36" with flowers measuring approximately 2.5" across.  Blooms July through September. Tolerates drought and poor soil.  Approx. 250 seeds per packet.

CULTURE: After danger of frost has passed, sow seeds 1/4" deep into a prepared garden bed.  Germination will occur in 3-10 days.  Thin to one plant every 12-18".  Do not over-water as this will reduce blooms.
