Cosmoya bipinnate is a flowering annual herbaceous plant native to the foothills of Mexico.

The branches are vertical, highly branched.

The height of the bush reaches 160 centimeters.

The leaves are so finely and densely dissected that they can be confused with dill.

Cosmea forms quite large bushes up to 150 cm high, so it can become a backdrop for low-growing plants or cover unsightly corners of your site.

Planting and caring for cosmos

Planting: sowing seeds in the ground - in early spring, as soon as the snow melts, or before winter; sowing seeds for seedlings - in March or April, transplanting seedlings into the garden - from mid-May to early June.

Flowering: from mid-June to September.

Sulfur-yellow cosmos needs regular watering throughout the growing season.

Starting in spring, you should plan to water this plant about once a week.

As the warm season approaches, watering can increase to two to three times a week.
