Dog friendly'Hot Chocolate' is a horticultural masterpiece and a must-have for anyone seeking something out of the ordinary. In early summer, it produces clusters of pointed buds that open into medium-sized, ruffled flowers. The colour is difficult to describe but impossible to forget—a rich blend of burnt orange and brownish-terracotta that takes on a smoky, chocolatey hue as the blooms mature.
The foliage is just as impressive: the leaves are exceptionally dark green and highly polished, providing a sophisticated backdrop that makes the warm, spicy tones of the flowers pop. It is one of the healthiest Floribundas available, showing superb resistance to blackspot and mildew. With a moderate, fruity fragrance and a sturdy, upright habit, it’s perfect for the middle of a border or a large patio container. It repeats reliably until the first frosts. To ensure it establishes a deep and resilient root system, we recommend using Rootgrow when planting.
