The special dark brown colored flowers indeed smell like chocolate
Cosmos Atrosanguineus is also known as the Cosmos Chocolate. The special dark brown colored flowers indeed smell like chocolate. Cosmos Chocolate is a beautiful border plant that is easy to propagate from root cuttings. Since it is a tropical plant native to Mexico, this plant is not hardy. That is why it is best to dig up the rhizomes of the plant and overwinter frost-free in peat dust and plant them out after ice saints.
