Cosmos atrosanguineus

Description

As the heat of the summer day retreats, the greater the intensity of the bewitching chocolate scent of these maroon-going-on-black blooms. After establishing themselves, the plants form an upright mound of ferny foliage that progressively conveys more and more blooms as the season progresses. Left in a bright sunny spot with adequatedrainage, the clumps will continue, growing back a bit larger and more spectacularly.
