Cosmos, also known as Mexican aster, is a lovely flower that originated in the Mexican scrub and meadowland before being introduced to American gardens as an ornamental plant. The beauty of these flowers mesmerised the Spanish priests, who named them Cosmos, the Greek word for order and harmony in the universe, making the flower a symbol of nature’s serenity and calm. In fact, the well-ordered fragrant petals of this flower, which give it a serene and calm appearance, are the reason for its popularity. The Psyche Mix variety is well-known for its stunning array of colours and large blooms of crimson, lavender-pink and white flowers.
