This new, improved form of chocolate cosmos is compact and vigorous, as well as smelling deliciously like dessert! It can be grown in the garden, but if
potted can be featured in a prime position when in flower during the warm months, then cut right back and hidden away somewhere sheltered through winter.

‘Choca Mocha’ grows as a bushy plant, with chocolate brown flowers standing up to 45cm above the dark green foliage. It needs full sun and regular watering
in a good quality potting mix.
For a great dish, garnish ‘Choca Mocha’ with some hot pink gaura and a silver plant such as trailing Dichondra ‘Silver Falls’.
