Orange - Cosmo
This variety with its cut foliage produces an abundance of luminous yellow and orange flowers right up to the frosts. The flowers, left to dry on the ground in autumn, provide seeds that are highly prized by birds.
This species is very popular with birds. The flowers can be left to dry in autumn, so they can feed on the seeds.
