Royal Queen Angel Trumpet

Rare Iochroma ‘Royal Queen Purple’ – Exotic Hummingbird Magnet with Deep Purple Blooms

If you’re tired of seeing the same plants everywhere, this one stands out fast.
‘Royal Queen Purple’ Iochroma produces clusters of dramatic deep violet-purple tubular flowers that look almost unreal hanging from the plant. It’s one of those collector plants people stop and ask about.

Often called a “Mini Angel Trumpet,” this tropical flowering shrub is prized for its exotic appearance, long bloom season, and ability to attract hummingbirds nonstop. The flowers hang in large clusters and bloom repeatedly through the warm season.

A very uncommon plant in most garden centers and rarely offered locally.
