Cosmos bipinnatus - Mexican Aster/Cosmos


I started this cosmos by seed back in March and it's been blooming for a few weeks now.
Cosmos is an annual but they tend to reseed. Height can reach up to two through four feet. This flower comes in white, purple, pink, lavender, red, and orange.
The seeds attracts birds and butterflies (Monarch).
