Chocolate daisy is a personal favorite. The long blooming, cheerful flowers truly do smell like chocolate! Flowers close in the afternoon heat. Tough and non-fussy, highly drought tolerant.

We have Chocolate Daisies to spare! These seed out easily and produce plenty of volunteers. Very easy to transplant. I can also collect seeds upon request.
