Notes
'Cherry Chocolate' chocolate cosmos (Cosmos atrosanguineus 'Cherry Chocolate') is an annual for containers, patios, and sunny garden beds. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and dry to average soil. Its red flowers carry a dark chocolate scent, so plant it where you pass by often. It blooms from early summer into autumn and draws hummingbirds and bees.
Pairs well with Statice, Lemon grass, and Strawflower.
