Cosmos Sea Shells, also known as Garden Cosmos or Mexican Aster , produces unique daisy-like flowers with fluted, tube-shaped petals that resemble tiny sea shells. It grows well in cool to mild weather , prefers full sunlight and well-drained soil, and is suitable for 10-12 inch pots, borders, garden beds, and cut flower arrangements. Native to Mexico and nearby regions, it became popular worldwide for its graceful foliage, unusual petal shape, and ability to add soft, airy color to winter and spring gardens.
