90302	Iochroma 'Princess'		$11.95	Iochroma 'Princess' is a new interspecies hybrid between Iochroma australe 'Alba' and Iochroma cyaneum. It has the flaring bell shape flowers and small growth habit from I. australe. 'Princess' has a lovely shade of medium pink flowers. They are short but open to very wide flaring bells. So far the blooming habit seems to be to put out long stems with a large cluster at the tip followed by a myriad of smaller weeping side shoots covered with smaller clusters that totally engulf the plant. Blooms all year but most heavily in summer as do most iochromas. Does not go dormant in winter. Much more trainable than pure I. cyaneum, this type can be trained to be low and spreading. Very rare color on a very versatile plant. Exclusive. (Thompson) Solanaceae

It has dark lavender pink buds which open to long lavender pink flowers that fade to pure pink. This is the closest an Iochroma has come to a true pink. Flowers are larger than either parent. It has the long tubular flowers of I. cyaneum with a slight flaring bell shape from I. australe. So far the blooming habit seems to be to put out long stems with a large cluster at the tip followed by smaller weeping side shoots with smaller numerous clusters. Flower color can be subjective in iochromas since they seem to change color with light intensity or duration. Much more trainable than pure I. cyaneum, this type can be trained to be low and spreading or trained up to be a tall specimen. Exclusive. (Thompson) Solanaceae

Straw near Huamachuco, Peru at an elevation of 9,350 feet in 1964 for the U.C. Berkeley Botanical Garden. Has been found by others growing in Peru from 6,200 to 12,700 feet. Growing at these high elevations probably means some frost tolerance. Solanaceae
90305	Iochroma 'White Knight'		$11.95	Iochroma 'White Knight' is a new interspecies hybrid between Iochroma australe 'Alba' and Iochroma cyaneum. It has the long tubular flowers of I. cyaneum in the rare color of white with the slight flaring bell shape from I. australe. So far, the blooming habit seems to be to put out long stems with a large cluster at the tip followed by smaller weeping side shoots with smaller numerous clusters. Much more trainable than pure I. cyaneum, this type can be trained to be low and spreading or trained up to be a tall specimen. Flower color can be subjective in iochromas since they seem to change color with light intensity or duration. I. 'White Knight' has pink buds which open to long white flowers in mostly summer sun but can keep a slight pink tinge in more shade. Exclusive. (Thompson) Solanaceae
