The leaves are alternate, 10-20 cm long and 5-18 cm broad, with a lobed or toothed margin. The flowers are erect or spreading (not pendulous), trumpet-shaped, 5-20 cm long and 4-12 cm broad at the mouth; color varies from white to yellow, pink, and pale purple. The fruit is a spiny capsule 4-10 cm long and 2-6 cm broad, splitting open when ripe to release the numerous seeds.

A show-stopping beauty! Incredibly large blossoms, up to 20 inches long, load the dark foliage. Grows 8-10 feet tall and can produce hundreds of flowers at a time. Really impressive decorating decks and patios.
