Gloria is rosy pink with darker red near the center. These are very pretty in mass plantings. Cosmos reach 3 to 5-feet in height, and won't fall over when planted close together as the feathery leaves 'lock together' and support each other. Blooms best in poor soil, and is drought tolerant. Happiest in full sun, they’ll grow in part shade without getting as tall. Attracts birds, bees and butterflies.
