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

Silky white with yellow centers, this Cosmos remains a favorite. There is something special about seeing such a purely white flower like this in a garden where things can get dirty. This annual is also easy to grow and reseeds itself to produce the next generation of flowers. 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.
