Throughout summer and into autumn, elegant single flowers appear on slender stems, each bloom releasing a genuine chocolate aroma on warm days that is quite unlike any other garden plant. The velvety, deep cherry-red petals are darker towards the centre, creating depth and richness, whilst the chocolate fragrance is most pronounced in warm sunshine. The dahlia-like tuberous roots produce fresh growth each spring, and the plant flowers continuously over a long season. This is an outstanding choice for containers, cutting gardens, or the front of sunny borders where the intoxicating scent can be fully appreciated. The flowers are excellent for cutting and bringing the chocolate fragrance indoors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOther benefits:\u003c\/b\u003e chocolate-scented flowers, long flowering season, excellent for cutting, attracts pollinators, unique fragrance\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWildlife attraction:\u003c\/b\u003e bees, butterflies, pollinators\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeight \u0026amp; spread (approx.) at 10 years:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.6m x 0.4m\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePosition:\u003c\/b\u003e full sun essential for best flowering and scent\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSoil pH:\u003c\/b\u003e adaptable to most soils; performs well in neutral to slightly alkaline conditions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMoisture:\u003c\/b\u003e moderate watering required; prefers well-drained soil; protect tubers from winter wet\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWinter hardiness:\u003c\/b\u003e hardy to -5°C; tubers benefit from winter mulch or lifting in cold areas\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Coletta \u0026 Tyson","offers":[{"title":"2 litre","offer_id":57007669313914,"sku":"COL-2L-COS-CHE-CHOX1","price":18.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0320\/6758\/4138\/files\/Cosmos-Cherry-Chocolate-2L-Cedar-Nursery-Surrey-1.png?v=1769262537","url":"https:\/\/www.landscaping.co.uk\/products\/ct-cosmos-atrosanguineus-cherry-chocolate-vg001-herbaceous","provider":"Cedar Nursery - Plants and Outdoor Living","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
