October Birth Flowers: Marigold and Cosmos

Both of October's flowers are colorful annuals thriving in full sun.

The October birth flowers are the marigold and the cosmos.

Marigolds are often given as a sign of warm or fierce undying love, or contentment with the recipient.

About 50 species range from 6 inches to 5 feet tall.

Cosmos symbolize order, peace, and serenity. These semi-tall annuals are often planted along borders.

Cosmos attract birds, bees, and butterflies to your garden.
