Cosmos sulphureus ‘Crest Orange’ is a vibrant, heat-loving annual that produces masses of bright orange, semi-double flowers above finely divided green foliage. This variety is known for its bold colour and excellent performance in hot, sunny conditions, making it a great choice for summer gardens. The cheerful blooms attract bees and other pollinators while adding a lively splash of colour to borders, containers, and wildflower-style plantings. Easy to grow and fast to flower, Cosmos sulphureus thrives in well-drained soil and requires little maintenance once established, making it ideal for beginner gardeners and Mediterranean climates.
