Iochroma 'Royalty'

Once I got hooked on growing Angel Trumpets it did not take long for me to also start collecting and growing their miniature cousins, Iochroma.  Here's a new cultivar I acquired this summer, Iochroma Royalty.

iochroma-royalty-2.jpgThere really has not been much hybridizing work done with Iochroma, so I was pleasantly surprised to find several new hybrid cultivars this summer. I was so impressed with them, this fall I decided to play around with hybridizing Iochroma.  I now have a bunch of seed pods growing out and it won't be long before they ripen and I can sow the seeds. It will be exciting to to see the results.

I'll post photos of other Iochromas in my collection over the next couple of weeks.
