Forgive me for posting this here, but I know many of you brug lovers also love Iochroma. I am one of them, but I just pulled mine out. It is very early yet in the growing season, and whiteflies are a huge problem here in Southern California. I have removed or chopped down all the plants which they are attracted to like my hibiscus trees. They also like the back of brug leaves but not nearly as much as hibiscus and now Iochroma. They have certain hosts plants, and my Iochroma was covered with hundreds of their larvae so out it came.
