I have grown a chocolate cosmos plant that has just flowered and it really does smell like chocolate - bit like a bounville bar. Unfortunately the fruit is not chocolate bars....

Well done, although I have to admit I have never heard of that plant. What kind of growing conditions does it need?

Grew from seeds then put in a pot in my garden and it is thriving. It is frost tolerant too so should like it up north. I will try send you some info - not sure if you can get them there. mad emma  |

ok Beck this will give you all the gen www.paghat.com/cosmos.htmlThis says it is not frost tolerant so I am glad I put it in a pot and not in the ground. It will probably love Australia cos it is a native of mexico. mad emma |

...drool!..drool!..chocolate smell..drool!...drool! Don´t know if I could cope with the tempting smell of chocolate tantalizing my tastebuds everyday, being the choc-o-holic I am ;D I´d probably end up gaining twice as much weight than I´d just managed to shed....  bummer that the fruit aren´t edible chocs!..that´s done it! Going to have to have a choccie moment!..I know, I know..what am I like?! |
