Cosmos
flowers are easy to grow, prolific bloomers (seed producers), drought tolerant,
great in bouquets and press beautifully. Cosmos is a great plant
to illustrate the seed cycle. Frequently you will find all
stages of the process, bud, flower, seed pot and seeds about to fall on
the plant at the same time. In the fall, you are likely to also have
a carpet of seedlings from seeds that fell earlier in the season.
We have a multitude of cosmos plants around the school grounds for just
that reason. |
