Also known as the Scared Flower of the Incas or the Sacred Flower of the Andes, it is found in the high valleys of the Yungas of the Andes. A half-hardy evergreen scrub with bright green foliage and clusters of pink-magenta trumpet flowers (approx 7cm in size) in spring. Prefers full sun to partial shade but doesn't do well in hot and humid climates. A real eye catcher. Trim after flowering. Grows to approx 2mtrs.
