Having a nursery, I looked high and low for seed and never did find
any.  It is not a cosmos that grows from seed, but rather from tubers. 
Similar to a dahlia.  The plants are VERY late in emerging.  I but them
wholesale and pot them up.  Had a 20% loss this year.  The other 90 are
going great guns.  Invert a pot over the tuber and cover with straw for
the winter, or better yet, dig the tuber and store.  They love heat.
Cosmos atros.
