Salpiglossis (Greek, tube and tongue, alluding to the form of the corolla and the appearance of the style). Solanaceae. Viscous-pubescent half-hardy annual, biennial, or perennial herbs, chiefly used for garden flowers, but sometimes also grown in the greenhouse; of rich and attractive colors.
Plants about 18 in. high, erect, covered with short glandular hairs: lvs. entire, wavy-margined, dentate or pinnatifid: fls. long-stemmed, large, funnel-shaped, ranging in color from various shades of purple and blue through numerous reds and yellows to creamy white, and usually beautifully marbled and penciled with several colors; calyx tubular, 5-cleft, corolla funnel-form, widely bell-shaped at the throat; lobes 5, plicate, emarginate; stamens 4, didynamous: caps. oblong or ovoid; valves 2-cleft.—About 8 species, natives of Chile.
The usual species in cultivation is S. sinuata, which was formerly divided into about 6 species mainly on the color of the flowers. S. sinuata has greatly improved in size of flowers and range of color until it is at the present time amongst the very finest half-hardy annuals. The varieties of salpiglossis require the general treatment given to half- hardy annuals. They prefer a deep light rich soil not given to sudden extremes of moisture and dryness. The seeds may be sown indoors by the middle of March or later, or may be sown outdoors in early spring. Care must be taken that the early sown plants do not become stunted before being planted out. They bloom for several weeks in late summer. The flowers are useful for cutting and last well. The plant is also excellent as a greenhouse annual for late winter bloom. Seeds for this purpose may be sown in late summer.
S. atropurpurea, Graham. St. procumbent at base, then erect, about 2ft. high: lvs. scattered, various in shape, lanceolate-elliptical, elliptical, or ovate-elliptical, flaccid, sinuated, the segms. generally blunt and entire: fls. deep rich purple on rather long pedicels. Chile. B.M. 2811. Included in S. sinuata by many authorities.—S. straminea, Hook. (S. picta, Sweet. S. straminea var. picta, Hook.). Included in S. sinuata by many authorities from which it differs in the color of the corolla, which is whitish tinted yellow at the throat and often purple-veined. The top of the style of S. straminea is toothless while that of S. sinuata is toothed. Chile. B.M. 3365. Probably not in the trade.
