Cosmos atrosanguineus ‘Choca Mocha’

Not only beautiful in bloom, Chocolate Cosmos will amaze every visitor to your garden. This forms a medium-sized mound of ferny, dark green leaves, bearing masses of cup-shaped blooms of chocolate coloured blooms that feature a chocolate fragrance. Plants are slow to grow in spring, and love summer heat. The tuberous roots may be wintered indoors like a Dahlia, stored in a cool basement. Consider growing this in a container and wintering the whole pot indoors in the basement, keeping it sparingly watered through the winter months. Bring up to the light in early spring and water, to get a head start on the season.
