Daisy-like cosmos flowers are easy-to-grow and versatile annuals. They can be used to plug gaps in borders, grown as a feature in their own right or as part of a container display. The flowers attract a variety of bees, butterflies and hoverflies, and also make a good cut flower.Cosmos bipinnatus ‘Xanthos’ is a compact variety with banana-yellow flowers and that signature dissected cosmos foliage. Lovely as part of a border or growing in pots and containers where it’ll provide masses of flowers from midsummer to the first frosts.
