Cosmos Cherry Chocolate

>Few plants combine colour & fragrance quite like Cosmos ‘Cherry Chocolate’.With velvety cherry-to-wine red blooms carrying a rich chocolate scent, this compact herbaceous perennial brings both drama & delight to the summer garden. The large 7 cm flowers are held neatly on shorter stems, sitting close to the blue-green foliage for a tidy, clump-forming habit. Flowering from midsummer into autumn, it provides long-lasting colour & fragrance across patio pots, raised beds & borders—an award-winning choice that turns heads wherever it grows.Each plant is supplied as a healthy, fresh & fully established 2L rootball, grown in premium peat-free compost & delivered direct from our Yorkshire nursery. Already well-rooted & often in bud, it’s garden-ready on arrival, giving you an instant head start over smaller plugs. With strong stems, lush foliage & pollinator appeal (awarded 2nd place in RHS Plant of the Year 2024), this perennial cosmos promises both beauty & reliability, season after season.Cultural Information: Common Names: Chocolate Cosmos, Cherry Chocolate Cosmos, Red Chocolate Cosmos, Velvety Cosmos Fully Grown Height & Spread: ~45 cm × 30 cm Growth Habit: Upright, Clump-Forming Perfect for: Patio Pots, Raised Beds, Garden Borders Flowering Time: Mid-Summer to Early Autumn Planting Position: Full Sun, Well-Drained Soil Attracts: Bees, Butterflies & Other Pollinators Type: Hardy Perennial Foliage: Blue-Green, Fine & Tidy Supplied as: 2L / 17cm Peat Free Rootball, Plastic Free Packaging
