The flower color is very variable among the different species. There are many ornamental plants in this genus that are popular in gardens.
For the flower-loving people - 1. Its seeds are cheap 2. Easy to grow 3. Beautiful and lovely to look. Once you plant it, it grows fast and after the flowers show their colorful radiating beauty they mature and their single-layered petals fall. What stays at the place of flowers are the brown oats like things which are actually the seeds of cosmos. They fall and scatter on the ground and start growing new plants as soon as they get moisture or water. Thus the next generation of cosmos flower's plants starts growing. Their maximum height is six to seven feet.

This flower is native to Mexico. From there it spread to different parts of the world - at some places, deliberately while at others by mistake. For example, in the eastern plains of South Africa, it was introduced by contaminated horse feed imported from Argentina during the Anglo-Boer war. In fact, it is like an invasive species.
For the first time growers of flowers, its seeds are easily available at the local stores. If you want to buy online - Go to the below link↓.
