    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Clusters of 25 or more, 2" scarlet-red tubular blooms are borne throughout summer on this floriferous plant in the Angel Trumpet family. The Red Iochroma seems to have more of a spreading habit, unlike the typically upright habit of the majority of the varieties we offer. Iochromas make excellent additions to large container gardens or as specimens all to their own.
