Your grandmother grew it, today states plant masses  along roadsides, and everybody loves it.  (Birds love it too, especially goldfinches.)  But there's always been one big problem--it's tall, sometimes very tall--up to 6 or 7 feet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the right setting, say a wildflower meadow in late summer, nothing's more beautiful than a sea of these big ferny plants waving in the wind, loaded with big blooms in pink, white and maroon.  But in gardens, most people prefer shorter flowers.  So for awhile, some relegated the \"tall\" cosmos to the group that's usually called \"old fashioned flowers\"--beautiful, surely, but a bit tall and rangy for our more sophisticated flower borders today. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEnter the hybridizers. \u003c\/strong\u003eWith all that color and such ease of care to work with, they have had a heyday with cosmos.  Today, there are all sorts of variations on the originals, some with new-style flowers, and others with simply the classic blooms on shorter plants. All require full sun, and are among the simplest plants on the planet to grow from seed.  By the way, even the seeds of cosmos are distinctive; they look like miniature pine needles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\nThe originals are wildflowers, of course, and are native to our own southwest and more commonly, Mexico. This tells you cosmos don't mind hot dry, conditions. In fact, some consider cosmos desert plants.  But they're incredibly adaptable.  And ever since some plant explorer gathered seeds from the rocky wilds of Mexico and transplanted them into \"good garden soil,\" the world has known that they not only thrive, but enjoy our loamy, well-watered gardens.  And if they're not fertilized too much, they rapidly develop into large branching plants with deep green fern-like leaves. If you have a dry season, cosmos plants don't care, and revert to their drought-tolerant roots.  Best of all, no matter where they're growing, they cover themselves with more and more wide (up to 4\") daisy-like blooms from midsummer on. Only a hard frost stops the cosmos parade. They're fantastic as a blooming screen, or a background for shorter plants.  And the big bonus: a grand stand of this garden classic in late summer can provide months of long-stemmed cut flowers for a whole neighborhood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Originals.\u003c\/strong\u003e There are scores of native cosmos species, most all native to the Americas, but there are only two that have entered our gardens in a big way:\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003e1.  \u003cem\u003eCosmos bipinnatus,\u003c\/em\u003e the big one.\u003c\/strong\u003e This is the granddaddy of them all. Hailing from Mexico, it's one of the few wildflowers that is so beautiful it was taken into gardens long ago just as it is in the wild.  The old name for this garden classic is simply \"Wild Cosmos\", \"Cosmos Sensation,\" or \"Sensation Mix,\" since the seeds always produce plants blooming in pastel pink, white, and deep red or maroon, all with bright yellow centers.  These are the tall, (to 6 or 7 ft.) graceful cosmos plants of your grandmother's garden.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2. \u003cem\u003eCosmos sulphureus,\u003c\/em\u003e the other cosmos.\u003c\/strong\u003e  This one's shorter, with more bushy plants and somewhat smaller yellow (to orange) semi-double flowers.  It's often called \"Sulphur Cosmos\" or \"Orange Cosmos,\" and an old variety with particularly glowing orange blooms is called \"Bright Lights.\"  The flowers of these often remind me of open-style marigolds on larger plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe New Cosmos.\u003c\/strong\u003e Today, the old standard \"mixture\" flowers of \u003cem\u003eC. bipinnatus\u003c\/em\u003e have been segregated, and the plants grow from only 3 to 5 feet.  So if you particularly like the old pastel pinks, there's \u003cstrong\u003e\"Pinkie,\"\u003c\/strong\u003e for the pure white, \u003cstrong\u003e\"Purity,\"\u003c\/strong\u003e and for the old deep rose or maroon, \u003cstrong\u003e\"Radiance.\"\u003c\/strong\u003e Even though the plants are shorter, all the flowers are still big and beautiful with the familiar bright yellow centers. And this new group doesn't stop with the old basic colors. \u003cstrong\u003e\"Gloria\"\u003c\/strong\u003e is a beauty in pink with red-flared centers. And \u003cstrong\u003e\"Daydream\"\u003c\/strong\u003e gives you the old pastel pink, but with a darker center flare and darker pink veins all through the petals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \n\nIf 3-5 feet is still too tall for you, choose the \u003cstrong\u003e\"Short Cosmos Mix\"\u003c\/strong\u003e which gives you all three of the old mixture colors at just 2 to 4 ft.  And yes, the flowers are still full size.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \n\nWant more variety? Pick \u003cstrong\u003e\"Dazzler\"\u003c\/strong\u003e and enjoy unique blunt-tipped daisies in true red, still with the dazzling yellow center, on plants to 5 ft.  Then there's the most unusual of all, \u003cstrong\u003e\"Seashells,\"\u003c\/strong\u003e a big hit with cosmos lovers--its hot pink petals are curled upward at the edges, giving the blooms a frilly look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  \n\nAnd here's my favorite: \u003cstrong\u003e\"Picotee.\"\u003c\/strong\u003e It gives you full-size daisy blooms in white with the end of each petal looking as though it's been dipped into a rich red paint--and all that jazz is on plants never over 4 feet.
