Cosmos belongs to the family Asteraceae, a broad family of flowering plants that includes more than 20,000 species. There are 20 species of cosmos, including the North America native Cosmos sulphureus and the popular garden flower Cosmos bipinnatus. Also known as Mexican aster, common cosmos plants will grow as an annual plant in all regions.

 

Many cosmos flowers sport lacy foliage similar to ferns or asparagus that is beautiful in its own right. Petals of single varieties surround a small yellow pollen disk with a simple ray form; double varieties may resemble little carnations. A wide range of color options is available, including all hues of pink, red, yellow, and orange. White and picotee colors are also available.
