Cosmos flowers is a perfect flower for growing in Australia because it is one of the few blooms that is really happy in Australian heat. For that reason, the best time to plant cosmos flowers is in spring and summer. I’ve also tried planting it when it was a warm autumn and it was a bit so-so!

There are lots of awesome varieties of cosmos, but I love the Cosmos Purity variety that has a a daisy like white flower and bright yellow centre colour, as well as the very sweet pink Cupcake Blush variety you can get at Transition Farm.

And if you are looking for other summer flowers to complement cosmos, you may like my Seasonal Planting Calendar below which includes a number of other options for the season. Happy planting!
