Description

These cosms are really different - they bloom in orange tones and the leaves are not so finely divided. 'Sunset Orange' belongs to the stately varieties and grows 90-120cm high. A noble companion to many other tall summer flowers. Cosmos sulphureus is often included in seed mixtures, it can be seen more often in public gardens... So it is well known in gardening circles, but in private gardens it is still almost a rarity. Especially in summer flower mixtures they are irreplaceable, because they bloom until the first frost, similar to Tagetes. The wild form comes from Central America and blooms mostly yellow or light orange.
