Chocolate marigolds are so named because of their chocolate-like scent. This flower is endemic in Mexico, red or dark brown, blooming in late summer.
Currently, there is only one clone of this type of Chocolate Marigold flower that still exists today, and flower propagation must be done through the laboratory or tissue culture method. Chocolate Marigold growing areas in Mexico are also protected by law.
Chocolate marigolds are one of the rarest and most beautiful flowers native to Mexico. They are named Chocolate because when they bloom, this flower emits a scent similar to this sweet candy.
Chocolate marigolds are dark red or brown in color. This special flower only blooms in late summer evenings. Unfortunately, only one copy of this flower exists today, created by plant regeneration 100 years ago.
Similar to Lotus Berthelotii, this species of Chocolate Marigold is believed to no longer exist in the wild for more than 100 years. They must have human hands to care for them to survive. In the summer, the flower petals often exude a very fragrant chocolate scent.
