Ben-ah
Chocolate Cosmos
Smell chocolatey, and thus the name.
This variety of cosmos is native to Mexico, and has been extinct in the wild for over 100 years. It is a perennial plant with a fleshy tuberous root. The flowers are red to maroon brown with a center raised area. The plant has a dark chocolate fragrance that becomes more noticeable as the day wears on.
The center of the flower forms in a cluster like appearance and opens into the traditional cosmos shape with velvety petals. Once the flower has died, the plant will benefit from deadheading, which will encourage additional blooms.
