Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A wonderful new small tree/large shrub for bright shade to part shade gardens! An interspecies cross between Iochroma cyanea & Iochroma australis ‘Alba’ - this clay & drought tolerant, fast-grower provides non-stop year-‘round bloom! Naturally multi-trunked with a nice spreading branch pattern, it’s absolutely loaded with beautiful clusters of flaring, plummy-pink 3.5” blooms. Easily trained into a stunning small tree, it’s a cinch to grow & will reach full size of 10' tall in its first year! A highlight in any garden (great for low-maintenance side yards) imagine watching the hummingbirds go nuts outside your window! Annual side-dress of compost for biggest thrills. Deer resistant.
