Got it from Thompson & Morgan. I found it less tolerant of drought and its stems are structurally weaker & shorter than my other various Cosmos. It flowers much earlier than all the others [Cosmos] as well. It's chocolate/ yellow flowers do stand out nicely though. Sowed the seed directly in our sandy, well drained soil.
