Chocolate Daisy, Chocolate Flower, Lyreleaf Greeneyes, Green-eyed Lyre Leaf
With its delightful, light, and airy look, the Chocolate Scented Daisy, affectionately known as the Chocolate Flower, makes a stunning choice for an informal border garden. Planting it in groups truly showcases its beauty and enchanting fragrance.
Though this charming flower hails from the Southwest, it’s quite adaptable and can thrive in various conditions. Interestingly, it blooms at night, filling the morning air with its irresistible cocoa scent! As the day warms up, the petals gently close or even fall, and the lovely fragrance fades a bit.
What you’ll see left are vibrant green bracts that embrace the flower's center, giving it the delightful appearance of a daisy with a green eye—hence the nickname Green Eyes for the Berlandiera plant. Texas and Florida each boast their unique species, known as Texas and Florida Green Eyes, respectively.
As the bracts dry, they spread out beautifully, creating a lovely hollow space that cradles the large, milk chocolate-colored seeds, ready to ripen. If you allow them to stay undisturbed, these seeds will eagerly sprout come the next spring.
For a lovely touch in your autumn floral arrangements, remember to harvest the brown heads before the seeds detach, keeping an eye on those cream-colored attachment points around the middle.

Spring Shipping:
Orders are shipped within 7-10 business days. We will email you if there are expected delays.
When you order plants from our nursery, you can expect them to arrive in the best possible condition. Our team carefully packs each order using sturdy, biodegradable packaging materials.
Your plants' appearance may vary depending on the season and their current growth stage. We may cut back the leafy growth of some plants to prepare them for shipment and transplanting.
5 Gallon and Up: Any plant purchased to ship over 5 Gallons will be shipped bare root. This means we will remove the plant from its original pot, remove the soil surrounding the roots, and wrap the roots with a biodegradable plastic bag. This reduces weight and the likelihood of damage during shipping.
Once your plants arrive, it is essential to plant them as soon as possible. This will help them rebound and thrive. If you cannot plant immediately, water regularly and keep the roots off heat-conducting surfaces.
Newly transplanted plants often require more water until their roots are well established. Plan to water them 1-3 times weekly for the first few months.
