Cosmos atrosanguineus Chocamocha ('Thomocha'PBR)
Height x Spread: 45cm x 30cm
Who can resist the scent of chocolate, especially combined with deliciously dark small mahogany daisy flowers that gently bob and weave in the breeze on slender stems?
Flowering from mid summer through to autumn, 'Chocamocha' is perfect for adding a graceful see-through layer of dark hot colour at the front of a border that can combine brilliantly with so many colours from oranges and yellows, to purples, pinks and whites. A great choice for a long flowering planter, why not include it in your cutting garden for interest and contrast in your displays? Disliking cold wet winters and susceptible to frost, treat it like a Dahlia by lifting and bringing it in for the winter. It thrives in full sun in a light free draining soil.
