A plant for morning people
"These bloom everyday for a very long period from early summer till frost. They only bloom in the morning and usually by noon you cant even tell they were just blooming- but the incredible chocolate fragrance, no need for supplemental irrigation on 10"" precipitation, and the long bloom time make it worth it for me. They kinda reseed like crazy though, so you might have to pull some if you have favorable conditions for them. (dry places with gravel mulch and low plant competition seem to be their favorite). Oh, and they lived up to their zone 4 hardiness which I was a little doubtful of."
Chocolate Flower
"This little plant has established itself and grown well despite the unusually wet summer we've had along the Front Range. I planted it in our super-clayey soil amended with plenty of expanded shale."
A delightful native bloomer.
"I love this Colorado native. It was slow to start, but is now blooming very well. A little pinching of the stems keeps them from getting to spindly. Very fragrant."
Flowers Smell So Nice!
"Mixed with other plants in my new desert island"
Good Plant
"Grows great in clay!"
I'll keep trying!
"I ordered in May 2019 and got flowers over the summer! They smell awesome. It may be too early to tell but it looks like I lost 3 out of 6 to winter. . . actually looks like they got pushed out of the ground. Maybe should have planted deeper? In any case, 3 have new growth (yay!) - I hope the others still sprout because I really like them."
Great plant with lovely smell
"I love this little plant. It is near the front door in the xeric garden and smells delightful in the mornings. It has proved to be tough and hardy, surviving all sorts of weather insults as well as the garden hose regularly flopped over it. It is very pretty in the mornings, but in the afternoons the blooms sort of shut down and it looks like something that should have been deadheaded last week. I don't care--smelling milk chocolate and seeing the cheerful blooms every morning for months is worth it."
