Iochroma fuchsiodes

(Red Arbol de Brujo) From the high, moist forests of the Andes comes this elegant and dramatic plant. Glossy leaves and dark bark on this six foot plus shrub are a fine background for the ultra-numerous three inch long creamy red flowers that flare at the ends to revel the coppery-orange interiors. Blooming thorough the warm season, it is an unbelievable draw for the hummingbirds!

In Zone 8 this plant is generally reliable as a herbaceous perennial.

Note: These are large, well branched plants. Unlike the small just-rooted cuttings offered elsewhere, these will grow quickly and make an outstanding display the first year.

Like many plants in the Solanaceae - including Brugmansia to which this genus is closely related - Iochroma species contain phytochemicals with potential pharmaceutical value but the genus has not been exhaustively studied in this respect. This variety, considered extremely potent, is taken by the medicine men of the Kamsa Indians in the Colombian Andes in shamanistic rituals. We offer this plant as a collector’s plant for your patio or garden and do not encourage it’s “recreational” use.

Plectranthus amboinicus 'Silver Curl'

(Silver Curl Cuban Oregano) The thick, furry, silvery and very fragrant leaves of this spreading plant are curled and twisted - a charming variation to the common form of this species. This is a seedling from an interspecific cross that regressed - almost - to one of the parents. A short trailer, enjoy this plant where the spicy, Oregano-like scent the leaves give off on a warm day.
