The Iochroma is like the brugs, it's a heavy drinker and feeder. In the South Heat it likes half day sun. I imagine in the Northwest it can do well in full sun. I planted mine on the S.W. Corner of the house, and was surprised when it grew to over 10 feet.

A friend of mine wrote an interesting article about them
