            Great plant but not hardy, so will need to be kept frost free over winter.
            Used to be called Acnistus australis.

            Read somewhere it's changed it's name again!
            Eriolarynx australis.
            I still refer to it as iochroma, as I'm too old for all this piddling about with classifications

              Have to agree here that this newest one was called Acnistus Australe or something like that! :scratch:
