Growing chocolate flower plants (Berlandiera lyrata) in the garden sends the scent of chocolate wafting through the air. The pleasant fragrance and yellow, daisy-like flowers are just a couple of reasons to grow the chocolate scented daisy. Berlandiera chocolate flowers attract butterflies, hummingbirds, and other important pollinators to the garden. Start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before planting time. Sow thinly in a lightweight soil mix. Press firmly and water. Keep moist but not soggy. Expose seedlings to direct sunlight. After spring frosts transplant to garden spacing plants 38-45cm (15-18in) apart.
