Iochroma australe var. alba
White Flowering Iochroma
An exceptionally elegant and uncommon flowering shrub from South America, Iochroma australe var. alba is prized for its cascading clusters of creamy white trumpet-shaped blooms and lush tropical foliage. This fast-growing species brings an exotic presence to patios, greenhouses, and sheltered gardens, often flowering repeatedly throughout the warmer months under ideal conditions.
Unlike the more commonly seen purple forms, this rare white-flowering variety offers a softer and more refined appearance while retaining the dramatic flowering habit that makes Iochroma such a standout collector genus. Hummingbirds are especially attracted to the pendulous blossoms, making it an excellent specimen for pollinator-focused gardens.
Thrives in rich soil with regular moisture and appreciates protection from hard frost. Can be grown in containers and overwintered indoors in colder climates.
A beautiful choice for collectors of rare Solanaceae, subtropical ornamentals, and unusual flowering shrubs.
