Berlandiera lyrata <br>CHOCOLATE FLOWER DAISY

Berlandiera lyrata, with the common names chocolate flower, chocolate daisy, or lyreleaf greeneyes, is native to North America. It is particularly notable for its distinct chocolate-like fragrance, especially during the early morning hours, making it popular in sensory gardens and pollinator habitats.

The flowers bloom at night from spring until frost, and in frost-free areas it will bloom year-round. Once the flowers drop they leave an attractive green disc shape. To ensure that it will continue to bloom as long as possible the spent flowers can be removed.
