Beautiful, bright-red tubular flowers attract a large number of hummingbirds during the summer-through-fall blooming season. Flowers emerge all along the stems and create a sensational show for the gardener to enjoy. Iochromas are in the same family as brugmansias and are often called 'Mini Angel Trumpets."
