Growing Cosmos
Cosmos, with their feathery foliage and bright range of colors, are wonderful companion plants to any garden, and the plants have a long bloom time. They attract pollinators, are fast-growing, and and easy to direct seed. They also thrive in the heat and sun, reaching heights of 2-4 feet. And some cosmos varieties can grow much taller than that!
