Antoinette, that is strange! I didn't know Iochroma gets seedpods. Is the seedpod small or the plant small? If the plant is small, it won't stay that way for long. Mine was pruned back not too long ago, but it was getting huge again when I pulled it out. Here is (was) mine below.

CC, I believe she pots them back in containers after the last frost has passed and keeps them outside until the following fall. It is true that it is a lot of work to grow tropicals in a climate that is not tropical!

Marc, check your local Home Depot garden section also. They are starting to get them here in Southern California.
