PAINTED TONGUE
Salpiglossis sinuta
From the Greek salpinx (trumpet) and glossa (tongue). A native of
Chile this cheery show stopper will produce 5 cm across funnel-shaped
flowers in rich shades of yellow, purple, mahogany and red. Growing
to 60 cm the heavily veined flowers bloom from the bottom up. Like
their relatives the petunia, they are long flowering, drought-tolerant
and cold hardy. Try them in a window box. O
