An astounding, delicious looking plant which were proud to bring to the market after RHS Chelsea in 2024. Our customers were among the first to grow this rare, exciting cosmos and proudly show it off to friends and neighbours - giving it pride of place in their herbaceous borders or containers. Cosmos atrosanguineus ‘Cherry Chocolate’ is a relative of the highly acclaimed ‘Chocolate Cosmos’ with the added benefit of rich, cherry pink petals to add dramatic colour. Even better, it has the same irresistible chocolate scent, so the scrumptious perfume can drift and delight on the summer and autumn breezes whilst jewel-like, golden pollen is sure to be a hit with busy pollinators. The flowers are large, up to 7cm across, and appear successionally from June to September ensuring there will be plenty for a vase inside your home too. Well-suited to smaller spaces such as a patio or balcony – plants reach a height of 45cm with a spread of 30cm. Cosmos atrosanguineus ‘Cherry Chocolate’ prefers well-drained soil of any kind and likes a spot in full sun. It should not be confused with its tender cousins, Cosmos bipinnatus, which are annuals. ‘Cherry Chocolate’ is a hardy (H4) perennial which can tolerate temperatures down to -10°C without additional protection and will flower again in following years.
