What are Cosmos?
Cosmos are showy annual flowers which are relatively easy to grow, as well as drought tolerant. The flowering plants are native to Mexico, and prefer warm, sunny growing spots in USDA zones three though 10. When planted in an area they like, cosmos will flourish, sometimes growing to immense heights. Their bright color and easy care make them an excellent choice for a lively summer garden. Cosmos are also insect resistant, and the plants are rarely infested by slugs, beetles, and other unwanted garden visitors.
