Botanical name: Cosmos sulphureus Family: Asteraceae (Sunflower family)
Sulphur Cosmos is considered an annual herb, although plants may
re-appear via self-sowing for several years. Its leaves are opposite
and pinnately divided. The plant height varies from 1-7 feet.
Flowers of the original and its cultivars appear in shades of yellow, orange,
and red. It is especially popular in Korea and Japan, where it is often
seen in mass plantings along roadsides, following an initiative pursued
by the Korean-Japanese botanist Woo Jang-choon.
Sulphur Cosmos is native to Mexico
