Iochroma are related to Brugmansia and the Solonacea family with a shrubby habit and simple grayish green leaves. This unknown species has attractive, reddish, tubular flowers in terminal clusters, followed by cherry-sized, golden yellow, heart-shaped fruits that are said to be edible and sweet. However most of this family are poisonous and I would not recommend tasting them! Not a hardy form like Iochroma australis and best suited to a frost free glasshouse and used as summer bedding.
