▶ "Cosmos sulphureus —also known as sulfur cosmos and yellow cosmos— is a species of flowering plant in the sunflower family Asteraceae. It is native to Mexico, Central America, and northern South America, and naturalized in other parts of North and South America as well as in Europe, Asia, and Australia. Cosmos sulphureus is tolerant to drought after germination, and is seldom subject to insect or disease damage. This vigor is attested by its status as a pest in some areas of the United States, such as the southeast where the United States Southeast Exotic Pest Plant Council has declared it invasive."
