The Petunia-like, velvety, trumpet flowers come in a beautiful range of colours from red to violet with streams of yellow. It grows in fertile garden soil, protected from the wind in full sun. Planted as a group they beautify borders and beds with their unusual play of colour. They also keep well in the vase as cut flowers. All parts of the plant are poisonous.
