Amphicome

Amphicome - Dwarf shrubby plants allied to Incarvillea, with trumpet-shaped flowers and elegant foliage. In A. arguta the flowers are red, coming as drooping racemes during August, and the finely-cut leaves are deeply serrated. A. Emodi is dwarfer and hardier, its pale-red flowers with an orange throat being 2 inches long and held erect. Freely produced from August, they are very showy, and continue for weeks in a genial autumn. They grow well in loam or leaf mould, but are not hardy enough for permanent cultivation in the open air. Increase by seeds, or cuttings of the shoots in spring. Bignonia order. Himalayas.
