Cosmos – Bipinnatus Yellow
$2.50 – $48.00Price range: $2.50 through $48.00
Cosmos bipinnatus ‘Yellow’ is a charming variety that produces soft, pale yellow, daisy-like flowers with bright yellow centers, adding a sunny and delicate touch to any garden or container. This warm-season annual is prized for its long-lasting blooms and fine, fern-like foliage.
Native to Mexico and Central America, cosmos thrive in full sun and prefer well-drained, moderately fertile soil. These easy-to-grow plants flourish in warm weather but are not tolerant of frost or cold conditions, so plant them after the last frost date in your region.
‘Yellow’ cosmos are excellent as cut flowers, offering sturdy stems and cheerful color for floral arrangements. Their seeds are also a popular food source for birds, supporting local wildlife and biodiversity.
For best results, avoid planting in overly rich soil or applying heavy fertilizer, which can cause plants to grow tall and weak. Direct sow seeds after the last frost, and water consistently until the plants are established. Mature cosmos are drought-tolerant and low-maintenance.
Bright, low-maintenance, and ecologically friendly, Cosmos bipinnatus ‘Yellow’ is perfect for adding warmth and natural beauty to sunny garden spaces.
