Cosmos atrosanguineus (Hook.) Voss - Asteraceae - chocolate cosmos, Schokoladen-Kosmee

Perennial herb, up to 60cm high, native to Mexico; leaves pinnate; flowers with usually 8 broad ray florets, dark red to maroon, 3-4cm in diam.

„… a plant which has been proven to exist as one clone worldwide and one which is apparently sterile… This species has not been refound in the wild since it was last apparently collected in the 1860s.“
[Plate 461. Cosmos Atrosanguineus Compositae., Hind, N., Fay, M.F., Curtis's Botanical Magazine, Vol.20(1), 2003, 40-48]

„Her scent, reminiscent of dark chocolate, unfolds in warm summer weather in the late afternoon hours.“
