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.
