Nursery contributed plant descriptions

The yellow buds unfold into large, orange, wonderfully night fragrant trumpets. Tropical Sunset Angel's Trumpet is a heat loving and free-flowering Brugmansia well-suited to the garden in mild winter climates or as a container plant where winters are cold.Angel's Trumpets are fast growing tropical shrubs that act-like dieback perennials in the northern parts of their cold hardiness range but readily return from the roots in spring. Establish them in spring once the danger of frost has passed for the best results.
