Edible Cosmos or Salad Cosmos 
Cosmos caudatus 
This unusual species of cosmos originated in Latin America where it is known by a wide variety of local names.  It is also popular as a salad green in parts of Asia, especially Malaysia and Indonesia.  Plants grow 4 to 6 feet tall with bushy, fern-like leaves that are truly delicious in summer salads.  The flowers are pink, small, and just as edible as the leaves.  Since it thrives in hot weather, this is a “must grow” for the summer kitchen garden.  Minimum 25 seeds. Germination 97%.
