Chocolate-scented cosmos, believed to now be extinct in much of their native range in the pine oak forests of the Trans Mexican Volcanic Belt. The intoxicating aroma of chocolate cosmos has been a favorite of gardeners for centuries, and until recently, plants were wild and a bit scraggly and could only be propagated by cuttings. This is an exciting new heirloom innovation with larger blooms, a neater growing habit and a few viable seeds. Plants average 2 feet tall with blooms almost 2 inches across and the rich, velvety blooms truly look and smell like chocolate.
