They begin to appear from late Summer to autumn and will reappear yearly. Plant in full sun with well-drained soil. It will reach a maximum of 30x30cm.
Here are some helpful tips for growing chocolate cosmos:
- Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil.
- Water regularly, but be careful not to overwater as chocolate cosmos prefer drier soil.
- Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer once a month during the growing season.
- Deadhead spent blooms to encourage more flowers.
- In colder climates, protect the roots with a layer of mulch during the winter months.
- Chocolate cosmos can also be grown in containers, as long as the container has good drainage.
- Prune back the plant in the fall to encourage healthy growth in the spring.
- Enjoy the beautiful chocolate-colored flowers and their sweet, vanilla-like scent!
