Description
Cotton is a warm-season crop grown for its soft, fluffy fibers that develop around the seeds. The plant produces beautiful cream or yellow flowers that later turn into cotton bolls, which burst open to reveal white fiber. It is both an agricultural and ornamental plant, making it interesting for home gardens, educational projects, and small-scale farming.
