Скачать или смотреть Cosmos - The Flower That Keeps on Giving

Cosmos are beautiful and long blooming members of the Aster family. Asteraceae also includes sunflowers, dahlias, and daisies, to name a few. Cosmos will typically begin blooming in early to mid-summer and continue until the first frost.
They come in a variety of colors from red, pinks & purples to yellows & oranges. The most common Cosmos varieties are the Cosmos sulphureus, which is known for red, orange, and yellow flowers, and Cosmos bipinnatus, which produces flowers in shades of white, pink, burgundy, and lavender.
They are easy to grow from seed & require little tending. They germinate quickly, typically within 10 days of planting and are tolerant of poor soil, heat, and drought. Great for both container gardens and flower beds.
Long lasting blooms are perfect for bouquets. Cut flowers usually last about 5-6 days in a vase. Harvest flowers just before buds open for the longest lasting bouquet. Cutting encourages a second round of blooms for the plants in your flower beds.
