Chocolate Flower (Berlandiera Lyrata) - Most people do not think of chocolate after smelling a flower, but that will change if you plant this scented daisy flower. Chocolate flower has a 2 inch, vibrant, yellow daisy with striking maroon undersides and chocolate-colored stamens. A small plant with an airy habit, Chocolate Flower, also known as Chocolate Daisy, makes a nice, informal edging plant, and is most impressive and most fragrant when planted in groups. Chocolate Flower has shown itself to be adaptable to a wide spectrum of conditions. Unlike most flowers, this chocolate scented daisy is a night bloomer, the flowers offer up their rich cocoa scent in the morning. As the temperature rises the petals close or drop and the fragrance recedes. Berlandiera dies back to the ground in winter and returns with a larger crown each spring, ultimately reaching about 24 inches across and about 18 inches high.
