Regal color and nonstop blooms for a tropical look
Iochroma ‘Royal Queen™ Purple’ lives up to its name with dramatic, richly saturated purple tubular flowers that bloom in heavy clusters for months on end. This standout cultivar brings an exotic, almost surreal vibrancy to the garden, with lush green foliage and an upright, shrubby growth habit that makes it ideal as a focal point in beds, borders, or large containers.
A magnet for hummingbirds and pollinators, this member of the nightshade family (Solanaceae) thrives in warm climates and can reach 6–10 feet tall in the ground. In cooler zones, it’s an excellent choice for patio pots or greenhouse culture, where its long flowering season and tropical appeal can be appreciated up close.
Growing tips:
Light: Full sun to partial shade
Water: Regular; prefers consistently moist, well-drained soil
Hardiness: USDA Zones 9–11 (protect from frost)
Maintenance: Benefits from light pruning to encourage bushiness and more blooms
