A chocolatier’s dream! This decadent treat will fill the air with the fragrance of chocolate on a warm day. Popularly known as Chocolate Cosmos, it produces single and double 2” blooms in abundance from spring through mid-autumn—as rich in color as they are in fragrance, a smoldering burgundy deepening to a nearly black center in these daisy-like flowers. Deadhead or use as cut flowers for an exceptionally long-lasting show. A compact and tidy plant growing to 2’ tall and wide, it thrives in well-drained soil with regular water and full sun. In frost-free areas, provide a bit of mulch in autumn for a super-rewarding return the following spring. Pollinators are drawn to the chocolatey blooms, but deer don’t have a taste for them. Perfect for adding breathtaking contrast in whimsical and formal gardens alike, this Cosmos also makes an ideal container plant.
