The Chocolate Cosmos, 'Cosmos atrosanguineus' produces velvety, dahlia-like, chocolate-maroon blooms that have a delicious aroma, reminiscent of the best Belgian chocolates. These wonderful plants are particularly suitable for a border plant in any perennial garden. To minimise frost-damage, protect the tuberous roots with mulch or over-winter in a frost-free environment.
