Just because you bought them from Amazon does not mean my information is incorrect. I have seen lots of seeds on Amazon, Ebay, here on Listia, aliexpress and lots more websites that are fake. Here are more quotes from another 6 or so different gardening websites. And there are lots more websites besides these that say the same thing. You were taken because you did not research the item.

here is from another website " viable seeds have never been produced"

and another "chocolate cosmos, Cosmos atrosanguineus, has been available and that was a sterile form that never set seed and had to be propagated by cuttings or in the laboratory"

And another "Its seeds are sterile so, while it is an ornamental plant and attract bees and bugs, the pollination is of no use."

And another "You see, chocolate cosmos, like so many plants, is self-sterile: it will not produce fertile seeds"

And another "all chocolate cosmos on the market come from 'Pinot Noir' seeds and all are sterile."

And another "Because of its sterility, it can only be propagated vegetatively"
