Totally tropical, covered in clusters of glowing, 4” tubular orangey-red flowers that will woo the neighborhood hummers Spring through Fall , this fast growing evergreen small tree/shrub makes a fab lush screening shrub. A native from Peru, Iochroma coccinea is closely related to Brugmansias & would look fab in close proximity to one of its trumpet flowered cousins.  Flowers occur on new growth, which means it’s totally pruneable. Growing to 8’ high & wide, prune it to whatever size your heart desires. Near the coast it’s cool in the sun, but for those of you in warmer places, plant in a shadier place to protect from hot afternoon sun. ALL PARTS POISONOUS!
