Iochroma fuchsioides, 10 seeds
This rare and beautiful perennial gem from South America is a relative of the Angel Trumpets (Brugmansia) with smaller leaves and more refined flowers.

Iochroma fuchsioides is absolutely dazzling and breathtaking in full bloom! Hardy from zone 8 onwards. 4 feet tall and wide. Full sun to part shade. Average garden soil. Moderate water needs, do not overwater. Usually available as plants or cuttings, very rare fresh seeds, harvested 07/2024.
