As well as having a wonderful chocolate coloured flowers the Cosmos Choca Mocha plant gives off the wonderful smell of chocolate helping to lift your mood.
Several orders for the Chocolate Plant have come in of late, so thanks to all of our customers, as we are all in lovely state of calm at the Blooming Direct dispatch centre.
One of our regular customers recently bought 20 plants as a wedding present for one of her Chocolate loving best friends. She called us direct and we arranged to place a gift card in with the box.
Giving the gift of Chocolate is a very rewarding experience, especially if you are a regular visitor to your friends house or garden !
For those of you which have already filled your garden with the Cosmos Choca Mocha plant, we would like to thank you for your custom and share with you some additional tips on helping your Chocolate plants flower in your garden for longer.
1. The Cosmos Choca Mocha loves sun, plant in a sunny spot.
2. Create a chocolate scented patio; the plant does really well in pots and baskets as well as creating beautiful bedding displays.
3. Protect the base of the stem and the root area during the winter time by mulching using whatever you have to hand. It could be fleece, plastic, bark chippings or a hessian sack or similar. This way you protect the plant from frost damage.
We still have limited supplies of the Cosmos Choca Mocha available for dispatch until September so we look forward to receiving your orders soon!
All the best,
Joel
It is a fantastic plant. All of our plants have died back for the winter, so unless you want to give your sister a twig for Christmas I’d leave it until the Spring! You can pre order now and we can send a card with the PRE ORDER details inside.
There are loads of other fantastic Christmas gift ideas on the site to choose from though.

Ok thanks Joel,
I think I will give the twig a miss! Will bear the plant in mind for the Spring though!
Have ordered some blue spotty wellies for my sister instead, which look fab!

Hi,
The chocolate plant sounds fab! My sister is renovating her garden and this looks like a great Christmas gift. I have just read that it is available until September so I am guessing I am too late to order this for Christmas?!
