Everwilde Farms - 1/4 lb Dwarf Gold Sulphur Cosmos Garden Flower Seeds - Gold Vault Bulk Seed Packet

This compact variety blossoms all summer long with bright yellow hues, making it ideal for a small garden spot or even as a container plant. This annual is easy to grow and does not require special conditions. Because of their Mexican heritage, these bright annuals meet high heat and drought conditions with native beauty and vigor. Spanish conquistadors searching for gold discovered these flowers on their journeys through Mexico. Mission gardens often included these flowers, which priests gave the name "cosmos," the Greek word for a harmonious whole, because of their neatly spaced petals. Cosmos flowers made their way to England with Spanish ambassadors in the late 18th century, and to the United States in the following century.
