Diablo Cosmos is a striking annual flower prized for its vivid orange-red blooms that bring bold color to borders, cutting gardens, and wildflower plantings. The daisy-like flowers rise on slender stems above finely cut, airy foliage, creating a light, natural texture in the garden. This easy-to-grow annual attracts pollinators and makes an excellent choice for gardeners seeking long-lasting summer color with minimal fuss.
Whether sown directly in beds or started indoors, Diablo Cosmos performs well in full sun and tolerates a range of soil types. Its abundant blooms appear from midsummer until frost, providing a reliable source of cut flowers and garden interest. The plants are well-suited to cottage gardens, meadow-style plantings, and pollinator-friendly landscapes.

Planting & Care
Sow Diablo Cosmos seeds directly outdoors after the last frost date, or start them indoors 4–6 weeks before transplanting. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface and keep evenly moist until germination, which typically occurs in 7–21 days at 65–75°F. Thin seedlings to the recommended spacing to encourage strong, bushy growth.
Once established, cosmos require little care. Water during dry spells and deadhead spent blooms to prolong flowering. Tall plants may benefit from staking in windy areas. Avoid over-fertilizing, as rich soil can promote excessive foliage at the expense of flowers.
