Chocolate Flower, Lyreleaf Greeneyes
Berlandiera lyrata

Bright yellow and red, daisy-like flowers have faint smell of chocolate. Soft green to gray-green foliage. Attractive cup-shaped seedheads. Seeds attract birds. Deadhead throughout the season to extend blooming. In late winter, cut back to foliage crown to stimulate new growth. May reseed in the landscape. Makes a beautiful small accent or boarder plant.
