Salpiglossis is an upright annual, with slender stems and wavy-edged, lance-shaped leaves. From summer to autumn produces funnel-shaped flowers to 5cm across. Cafe Au Lait has an intriguing colour for Salpiglossis, with coffee coloured petals with deep purple veins and golden yellow centres. Sure to add interest to a sunny border.
Salpiglossis does best during warm summers in a humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil in a site that is sunny and sheltered from cold winds.
