Plant architecture is tall but open and airy, so plants are less prone to lodging or falling over than Cosmos bipinnatus types. Excellent choice for color in summer gardens. 1 1\/2–2″ wide, double and semidouble blooms in shades of orange and gold. Sometimes used as cut flowers, though they do not last long in the vase, dropping petals after 5 days. Flowers are also used to create natural dyes for fiber and fabrics. Plants readily self-seed. Also known commonly as Dyer’s cosmos and sulfur cosmos. Native to the Americas and Mexico. For mass plantings, sow at 5 oz.\/1,000 sq.ft. or 14 lb.\/acre.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Height: 40–48″\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePacket: 200 seeds\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvg. 3,800 seeds\/oz\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n","brand":"kkseeds","offers":[{"title":"Packet","offer_id":53742880489786,"sku":null,"price":5.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 Ounce","offer_id":53742880522554,"sku":null,"price":7.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1\/4 Pound","offer_id":53742880555322,"sku":null,"price":17.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 Pound","offer_id":53742880588090,"sku":null,"price":57.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1010\/9707\/9098\/files\/1826__E7_A1_AB_E5_8D_8E_E8_8F_8A1-scaled.webp?v=1784199878","url":"https:\/\/kkseed.xyz\/products\/cosmos-sulphureus","provider":"kkseeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
