Iochroma australe / syn. Acnistus australis; Eriolarynx australis

Deep purple-blue flared trumpets like small Daturas line the undersides of every branch for months. Supposed to be tender, but has been hardy for me outside, unprotected, for 15 years. Plant out when woody. Probably best against a South or West wall 8ft
