Cosmos are prized for their abundant, silky, daisylike flowers and their unflappable, easy-care nature in the garden.
Millions of Cosmos sulphureus (common name Sulphur Cosmos) in orange and yellow and Cosmos bipinnatus (common name Garden Cosmos) in burgundy, white, pink & violet cover the meadow in waves of brilliant color.
As a member of the daisy family, cosmos flowers are appealing to Monarch butterflies because of their abundant flowers and rich nectar stores.
Although a cosmos blossom looks like one flower, it is actually made up of many different tiny tubular flowers surrounded by a ray of petals.
Zinnias (Zinnia spp.) are one of the most popular, easy to grow, flowering annuals for gardens.
These brightly-hued annuals come in a wide variety of colors, sizes, and shapes—fast, reliable growth habits, low-effort care requirements, and sturdy stem (perfect for harvesting).
Zinnias are one of the best annuals for attracting pollinators, especially butterflies.
As soon as summer hits, Zinnias start to open up and show off their bright, bold colors.
Many butterflies are attracted to Zinnias’ colorful blooms and will feed on the easy-to-access nectar.
