Notes:

This beautiful shrub was about 6′ tall and 4′ wide. The leaves are lightly velvety. The tubular flowers are deep blue/purple. They weren’t prolific on the plant. A gardener there said he cuts it way back in the winter, so maybe a perennial?

    Thanks Laura, you are correct! I found it on the Annie’s Annuals website. It’s called Royal Blue.

    Looks like a type of iochroma (Iochroma). This might be Iochroma cyaneum. Best wishes! http://southeastgarden.com/iochroma.html
