Cosmos bipinnatus, commonly called the garden cosmos, is a medium sized flowering herbaceous plant originally from Mexico. The species and its varieties are popular as an ornamental plant in warm climate gardens. It can also be found in natural areas in much of North America, where it is a garden escapee. This plant is also known a weed because it is not cultivated by man. |
