Berlandiera lyrata 'Chocolate Drop'

A must-have for chocolate lovers! Berlandiera lyrata 'Chocolate Drop', also known as Chocolate Flower, offers a delicious chocolate fragrance each morning, much more intense than chocolate cosmos and powerful enough to hang in the air on warm days. Place it near seating to inhale its delectable fragrance or allow the scent to overwhelm your conservatory or greenhouse.The daisy-like flowers feature vibrant yellow outer florets surrounding a deep red button, folding up prettily in the evening to reveal swirls of purple veining on the underside of the petals. The blooms are produced prolifically from late spring through autumn, attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies. This hardy perennial thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, making an excellent drought tolerant perennial for low maintenance borders, rock gardens, or wildflower meadows. It’s a superb choice for a sensory garden. Ultimate height: 60cm (24in). Ultimate spread: 40cm (16in).
