Chocolate, eh ? Have you grown Cosmos atrosanguineus ? I'ts reputed
to small like Chocolate, but I haven't grown it yet (plan to this summer),
so I can't attest to the truth of it.
Plant is self-sterile, so no seed (all plants in commerce may be a
single clone); you have to either buy plants in the green, or get
a dormant tuber, like a small Dahlia tuber.
