          My Iochroma blooms all year round which is a treat. I keep it to about three meters tall.

                  What an amazing plant @Victoria . Don't think it would like Scotland tho:). It's lovely to see something very different, this thread can get a bit monotonous when photos of the same plants are posted up ad infinitum.
                  I'll plead guilty to this posting photos of Tulips. Only reason I did it was to show that with good drainage ie in my tubs Tulips can last for years and years and don't need to be discarded after a season if you can give them what they need. I didn't realise for many years that they really don't need to be treated as flowering once and then binned. The ones I have in the tubs haven't even been fed in the 6 years I've had them. I do let the foliage dies down naturally tho. The dying foliage gets covered by the Lilies which are also in the tubs and grow up to hide the dying down Tulips. Works quite well. 1 of my more successful idea!:snorky:
