The front of the seed packet depicts a trio of cosmos in delicate white, pink, and red. The back of the packet describes the flower in more detail:

None of our autumn flowers are more prized than these graceful and brilliant garden plants. It has long stem and feathery foliage, and continues to blossom in fall till freezing weather.

To win the cosmos seed packet, all you have to do is answer one question: In addition to the United States, cosmos are native to which North American country?
