Bright Lights is a cosmic beauty show from midsummer until first frost. Vibrant, bold, 2 ½" flowers on 36" plants attract butterflies and hummingbirds that flock to the nectar from the blossoms. Cosmos are a superb choice for wildflower and naturalized areas, as they are drought tolerant, and neglect is the kind of care they prefer! An excellent cut flower.

    Bright, dense, pollinator attracting flowers. So beautiful to see all different shades of yellow & orange colors together

    Botanical Interest seeds have always been one of my favorites! I used to carry this line in my medicinal herb store 20 years ago.

    This is Cosmos Bright Lights. Heat tolerant and the pollinators love! ❤️
