Local nursery gave my wife some free flower seeds awhile back. She dropped them in a line to border an edge of her veg garden and they're now bearing blossoms. We are taken with the greenery (delicate and fairly tall) as well as the structure and color on the blossoms. Anyone know either their common or botanical name?
those are cosmos (that's the genus as well as the common name); next year you will have hundreds of them; they can look a little natty when the flowers drop and the seeds develop, so cutting them back at that time will possibly reduce the reseeding; we enjoy/tolerate/are annoyed by them alternately
