    Thanks!

    Yes, I have Iochroma grandiflora. It survived outside for several years before being finished off by the Beast from the East, though survives still in the form of cuttings in the greenhouse. It never flowered outside anyway, so think I'll keep it protected in the greenhouse from now on...

    I had I.grandiflora for a couple of seasons until the winter of 2010/11. It bloomed more than happily outdoors. After that it was replaced with I.australis (now reclassified I believe) which was planted out in 2012 and remains there to this day even here in the chilly Cotswolds.
    In a pot I had I.cyaneae which croaked during the cold snap of 2015 (I got complacent and left it out). The only one that I have now is I.fuchsiodes.
