Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A rich and pleasing floral fragrance combined with a long flowering season are some of the strong attributes of this Central American species. Blooming from May to October, the flowers have purple petals and dense frilly filaments accentuating the 3" blooms. It is a strong grower yet modest in stature making it an excellent candidate for containers. We grow it in a hanging basket where it makes a beautiful specimen. If cross-pollinated with another species, it will produce edible fruit.
