How to grow chocolate flower
Berlandiera lyrata
When to plant chocolate flower
A mounding southwestern perennial for full sun to partial shade in dry, rocky, well-drained soil; heavy wet soil leads to root rot. Propagate by seed (its long taproot makes division a poor choice), and deadhead or mow after the first bloom for continuous flowering.
Chocolate Flower is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
