Cosmos atrosanguineus 'Chocolate'

Reviewed 20th April 2020 by Catherine

These did not survive posting, poor little plants, I think too small and immature to sell as ready to plant.

two of the plants were poor quality but the remaining three have done well and look good with Geranium Pink Capitatum and Verbena Bampton in a pot on the terrace

Great sturdy plants, have started flowering, look very attractive and have placed in a large pot surrounded with other Sarah Raven annuals. Smashing combination, great service as ever.

Healthy plants delivered quickly.

Well packaged, strong, healthy plants which grew quickly. All produced lots of flowers with a good chocolate fragrance over a long period. I bought another variety, Choca Mocha, from another supplier but this was not as good; atrosanguineus Chocolate is a much nicer plant.

Beautiful wee plant, am hoping they survive the winter


Can I remind you here about my dahlia "Bishop of Canterbury" It wasn't the same as the catalogue and rather than reimburse me you promised to replace it if you have it again.

Also you haven't included the above or the scabiosa in this list. Unfortunately it died although it was perfect on arrival.

Two of the plants were not in good condition when they arrived due I think to hot weather conditions but I planted all three and watered them well but only one plant survived.

Reviewed 21st November 2018 by Gavin

The plants were delivered on time, in excellent condition, healthy and packaged in a way which meant they were free from damage. I opened the package asap and planted a few days later. Super healthy plants flowers for months. A very satisfied customer!!!

They were fine although the flower heads were rather small

Worth the wait as plants flowered for ages.

Didn't do so well this year. I think the extra heat we had this summer took it's toll. Only one plant left. the weather didn't suit any of my penstemon this year.

Reviewed 3rd October 2018 by Claire

Only a few very small blooms at the beginning of the season, none since. Although it has been a hard summer for bedding they did get good care, and I have had great success with these from Sarah Raven in the past. Disappointing. I am putting it down to the weather however and will try again next year.

Surprised that these did badly. I split them between my garden and my Mum's (50 miles apart), and they didn't flower well at all, even in this baking summer.

Not 100% pleased with the flowering. Very poor.

Reviewed 3rd September 2018 by Sandy

Only two thin little plants survived but they were very late arriving and so well behind everything else. Love the flowers with the African basil and some purple sage.

poor quality

Reviewed 24th July 2018 by Clare Smith

These plants arrived completely torched. Have planted them out anyway but they have not survived. We've had really hot weather recently and they have not survived the shipping at all. But cannot believe that they left Sarah Raven in a decent condition because they are so badly decomposed.

Unfortunately, I am disappointed with the condition of these plants. They look as though they have been scorched by wind or sun. Hopefully, given some TLC they will recover.
I have bought many products from Sarah Raven and always been very pleased with my purchases. Shame about this one

Gorgeous colour

Reviewed 27th June 2018 by Alison Ellis

I love these. Their flowers are just the right height to be the ‘thriller’ in a pot, planted with red petunias and calibrachoa. A lovely colour and fragrance, and hopefully they will return next year.
