Fantastic plant from South America. These tuberous-rooted perennial plants produce slightly pointed oval leaves on branching stems and reach 2-3 ft. tall and wide, give this unique plant a wonderful shrub-like appearance. The vanilla fragrant, trumpet-shaped bright yellow flowers are borne in clusters, appearing each evening with repeat blooming day after day into early fall.
