Miss Carol's Cosmos
Miss Carol's Cosmos
Cosmos bipinnatus
open-pollinated
My dear friend, Miss Carol, gave me these cosmos from her garden while we worked together during the first heat wave in the summer of 2021. We soaked the ground and gently pulled these dainty, fern-like stems one by one and I rushed them home to plant before they wilted. A beautiful annual that is easy to grow and will bloom more and more if you dead head it throughout its blooming time.
