Dichopogon fimbriatus, commonly known as Chocolate Lily, is a deciduous perennial herb native to a variety of habitats including open woodlands, grasslands, and savannahs in Southeastern and Southwestern Australia. It typically grows to a height of 2-3 feet (0.6-0.9 meters) and a width of 0.3-0.6 feet (0.09-0.2 meters). The plant features grass-like leaves and produces distinctive, nodding flowers that are chocolate-scented, with colors ranging from pink to deep purple, during the late fall and winter months. The flowers are particularly showy due to their unique color and fragrance.

The Chocolate Lily is valued for its aromatic flowers which can add a unique sensory experience to gardens. It is often used in naturalistic plantings, borders, and as an understorey plant in shaded areas. This species is relatively easy to maintain, requiring medium amounts of water and thriving in a range of soil types, provided they have good drainage. It prefers full sun to part shade conditions. While generally disease-free, it can be susceptible to root rot in overly wet soils. The Chocolate Lily is not known for aggressive roots or significant pest problems. It is also appreciated for its ability to attract pollinators such as bees.CC BY-SA 4.0
