Does Iochroma fuchsioides grow there?

28 Sep, 2011

Thats lovely and what a colour.

Thanks 6d!
It's in the same family as Brugmansia and Datura.

Very similar indeed - lacks the fragrance though.

Like this one a lot! :o)

I've been trying to get seeds from it, but no joy so far PA.

I should have said: Is Iochroma fuchsioides available for sale at your nurseries, there?

A quick search came up with zilch............

Meanie:

That's surprising! This plant is really good in cooler summer climates (It's still really tender to frost, though). I've seen many growing in the fog belts of the coastal San Francisco Bay Area.

Very beautiful Meanie...love the colour. At first I thought perhaps a relative of Solanum...but I see the comments above re. Datura and that makes sense....beautiful!

I'm still looking Delonix - no joy yet........

It is a member of the Solanaceae family Karen, the same as Datura.
