Second place in 2024 RHS Plant of the Year, the perennial Cosmos Cherry Chocolate wowed judges with its new cherry coloured, chocolate scented flowers, which are larger than other cosmos cultivars. Golden pollen contrasts against the velvety coloured petals, forming a striking accent in the garden, attracting pollinators and making wonderful cut flowers. Its stems are shorter, and the plant is more compact than other varieties making it ideal for container planting.
