Cosmos are perennial plants in the sunflower family. They are native to North and Central America but can now be found all over the world, as long as they are grown in a warm and sunny place.
The name "cosmos" derives from the Greek word meaning "harmony”.
Cosmos come in a wide range of colors, including white, pink, red, orange, and yellow, making them a fabulous addition to gardens and within bouquets.
