Description

        Cosmos is a genus of flowering plants in the sunflower family, Asteraceae. Their flowers are produced in a capitulum with a ring of broad ray florets and a center of disc florets, and the flower color varies between species.

        Cosmos flowers come in various colors, including white, pink, orange, red, yellow, maroon, crimson, rose, lavender, and purple, and some are two-toned. They can bloom profusely and continuously from late June or July until the first frost of autumn. There are 3 types of flower characteristics. Most varieties have single flowers with eight petals, ray florets, and a broad yellow disk of fertile florets. They have daisy-like blooms with petals that are evenly spaced and stately. The center of a cosmos flower is striking. It features a stunning yellow color, with some species displaying darker stamens around the edges and middle, resembling a regal crown. The petals can be single or double, and some varieties have petals that resemble cupcake liners. Cosmos flowers are typically cup- or bowl-shaped, with daisy-like blooms on upright stems. The petals of the Cosmos bipinnatus “Sea Shells” variety are hollow and tube-shaped, and the top of the petal has serrated teeth.

        Cosmos calyxes are usually green and surround the base of the petals. They play a crucial role in safeguarding the developing flower. There are mostly 8 outer bracts, which are ovate to lanceolate-tail-shaped, 7–15 mm long, 3-5 mm wide. The inner bracts are ovate-lanceolate and 8–12 mm long. They are translucent with many black stripes and a clear edge up to 1 mm wide, sometimes the tip is yellowish or pink ciliate.

        Cosmos plants are herbaceous perennials or annuals that can grow up to 6.7 feet tall. Cosmos leaves are simple, pinnate, or bipinnate and are arranged in opposite pairs. They are narrow, pointed lobes that curve outward from a central vein or spine. The lobes are arranged in a symmetrical shape, with a single or twinned lobe at the end. Each lobe has several pairs of small, pointed extensions along its length, and the base of each leaf is broad and flanged.

        Spanish conquistadors discovered the cosmos flower in Mexico in the 16th century and brought seeds back to Madrid, Spain. Spanish friars named the plant “kosmos” after the Greek word for “ordered universe” or “harmony in the heavens” because of its orderly petals. The flower eventually reached England in 1789 and the United States in the mid-1800s.
