How to grow

How To Grow Chocolate Flower From Seed: Start Berlandiera Lyrata seeds directly outdoors once frost danger has passed. Prepare a seedbed by loosening the soil to a depth of about 8 inches and removing all weeds. Lightly cover the Chocolate Daisy seeds with soil and keep the flower seeds moist until germination occurs.

The Chocolate Flower plant starts out small, but each spring the crown grows larger and the plant can eventually spread to about 24 inches across. Thin the seedlings to about 18 inches apart when they are several inches in height. Care of the Chocolate Flower plant includes removing spent flowers to encourage continued blooming, and cutting the entire plant back in the fall after blooming is finished.
