Cosmos plants are primarily pollinated by insects, especially bees and butterflies, which are attracted to their brightly colored flowers. The flowers have a structure that facilitates easy access for these pollinators to the nectar and pollen. Additionally, Cosmos can also set seeds through self-pollination, although cross-pollination by insects tends to promote genetic diversity. Overall, the plant's vibrant blooms and nectar-rich flowers play a crucial role in attracting pollinators.
