Everwilde Farms - 1 lb Sea Shells Cosmos Garden Flower Seeds - Gold Vault Bulk Seed Packet

Experience some exotic flair with these fluted, pink flowers! If you have not seen them in real life, you need to try them, because they are unlike any other cosmos. They may look fussy, but they do not take very much care - even a beginner can grow these! 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.
