GARDEN COSMOS/MEXICAN ASTER

I bought the lavender colour garden cosmos from the Kampung Simee market last week as I thought the flowers were so pretty. I knew that they were somewhat related to the orange and yellow cosmos that my mum has in her garden. Here is some information about this garden plant.
