Cosmos 'Eclipse' will lure chocolate lovers with its utterly divine scent, emanating from deep rich maroon flowers, that are so dark and sensual they appear almost black. 'Eclipse' will certainly be the darkest cosmos you'll find on the market and one of the most fragrant, especially on a warm, calm day. Place in containers near entranceways and on the deck or patio, where the delicious scent can be most appreciated. Plant in well-drained soil in a sunny, sheltered position and deadhead spent blooms to promote further flowering. Deciduous.
