Boasting sumptuous, velvety cherry-hued blooms atop lance-shaped, blue-green foliage, ‘Cherry Chocolate’ is a standout in any sunny border, offering a striking contrast when paired with other vibrant hues. With the largest flowers among atrosanguineus cultivars, measuring 7cm (3in) across, its allure is further enhanced by its chocolate fragrance emanating from its blooms, enticing both humans and pollinators alike. To safeguard against frost damage, consider protecting its tuberous roots with a cloche or overwintering in a frost-free environment, ensuring its beauty for seasons to come.
