Chocolate Flower!
The chocolate flower has a strong chocolate fragrance in the early morning. It comes across as cheery and is an informal wildflower. It will bloom from early summer through frost. Yellow-petalled, daisy-like flowers have reddish-brown centers.
Chocolate Flower is a very drought and heat-tolerant plant which can live without irrigation once established.

Perennial Salvias are a mainstay of the midsummer garden, providing long-blooming, aromatic flowers that are beloved by bees and butterflies. It’s practically a fail-safe perennial that is deer- and rabbit-resistant, too… plus they are heat- and drought-tolerant.

*Ancient Romans believed that salvia stimulated the brain and memory; they also used it to clean their teeth.
*The name Salvia comes from the Latin word salvere, which means “to heal.” Salvia has been used for its herbal and medicinal qualities since ancient times.
*The common kitchen herb sage—Salvia officinalis—is a relative of the many ornamental species and has a few attractive ornamental varieties.
