lochroma cyanea is a hybrid of lochroma cyaneum. Every website I go to says something different. I am finding conflicting information everywhere I go. Here is a comment I found on DG, only thing that makes sense so far:
[quote from DG]
This plant is a product of the Athens Select programme at UGA. Although the Athens Select website is slightly ambiguous as to the name, the correct name is Iochroma cyaneum 'Purple Queen' rather than 'Royal Queen'. It is similar to but distinct from the USDA recognised cultivar Iochroma cyaneum 'Indigo'. [end quote from DG]
This has got to be it, this is in the ATP data base, (Iochroma cyaneum). There are several hybrids but could you just add 'Purple Queen' , not Royal Queen as I suggested. I purchased it under the name Royal Queen, but Purple Queen might be the trade name. Some call it Royal Purple Queen but I am confused, even Proven Winners is confused because they think it is an annual. They call it Royal Queen Purple!!
ZUZU said something about multiple entries in the data base but this one is really called lochroma and there are several different hybrids including, Royal Blue, Plum Beauty, Wine Red, and Sky King. Are you confused, join the club!

But Purple Queen is not in data base either?..Also called Royal Purple Queen?

Recap
Could you just add, Iochroma cyaneum 'Purple Queen'
I can sort out the fact sheets later.
Thank You! Susan
