We would really like to get >more plants from the ones she has to share. Any info would be appreciated if >anyone has any on these. > It was my understanding (from anecdotal information) that all the chocolate cosmos being offered are derived vegitatively from the same ancestor and that the plant is no longer available from the wild. Also, they are said to be self-sterile. It would be interesting to find out if the seed that she says she has are fertile.
