Master Gardener Notes
Chocolate Daisy, Chocolate Flower, Lyreleaf Greeneyes, Green-Eyed lyre leaf View Larger
Blooms May to October. This flower smells like chocolate! On warm days it will fill the air with fragrance. In rich soil with extra water, the plant may fall over but it will send up branchlets along the stem which will produce more flowers. In a meadow, it can be mowed in early summer after the first wave of blooms. It will bloom year round in warm weather.
