Mother Nature’s own wild species of “Painted Tongue” is much easier to grow than the commonly available variety! Wild collected in Chile, this unknown treasure isn’t fussy, blooming abundantly for months (even in Winter in the Bay Area) with irresistible, darkest violet, 1.25” trumpet flowers. To 16” x 16”, with a multitude of branchy stems bearing finely divided foliage, it’s wonderful in a container & a delightful surprise planted in a succulent garden paired with silver or golden foliage like Orostachys or Sedum x adolphii. Cut back when spent. May overwinter. Best in well drained soil. Butterflies!
