  • Species and varieties: Salpiglossis, commonly known as Painted Tongue or Velvet Trumpet Flower, belongs to the Solanaceae family. The most common species is Salpiglossis sinuata, which comes in a variety of colors including red, yellow, purple, and blue.
  • Hybrid or heirloom: Salpiglossis seeds are typically heirloom varieties, known for their unique and vibrant flower patterns. They are not commonly hybridized, which makes them a favorite among gardeners who prefer traditional and naturally occurring plant varieties.
  • Pruning and training: Salpiglossis plants benefit from regular deadheading to encourage continuous blooming. Pinching back the growing tips can promote bushier growth. They do not require extensive pruning or training.
  • Fertilization needs: Salpiglossis plants prefer a balanced, all-purpose fertilizer applied every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of flowers. A slow-release fertilizer or compost can also be beneficial.
  • Hardiness zones: Salpiglossis seeds are suitable for USDA hardiness zones 8-10. They can be grown as annuals in cooler climates and as perennials in warmer regions.
  • Climate requirements: Salpiglossis prefers a mild climate with temperatures ranging between 60-75°F (15-24°C). They thrive in full sun to partial shade and require well-drained soil. They are sensitive to frost and should be planted after the last frost date in cooler regions.
