Beautiful and Fragrant Angel’s Trumpet

By Lorraine

Tropical hanging trumpet-shaped flowers of Angel's Trumpet plant is fragrant and beautiful. But, be careful as all of the parts of the plant are poisonous.

I had never heard of a Angel’s Trumpet flower before I saw one at my friends home. I bought one and it is truly a beautiful flower with a lovely fragrance. Now that I have learned that all parts of the Angel’s Trumpet plant are poisonous I won’t be growing it again.

Blooming Angel’s Trumpet

It took a long time but finally the Angel’s Trumpet produced a bloom. A magnificent one for sure. With a lovely fragrance too. I waited since I bought this plant in the spring for it to bloom. It is supposed to be a rapid grower, reaching 5 feet in one season. This one is just about 3 feet tall.

How to grow Angel’s Trumpet

 

Angel’s Trumpet, or Brugmansia, are easily grown in a moist, fertile, well-drained soil, in sun to part shade, in frost-free climates. They begin to flower in mid to late spring in warm climates and continue into the fall, often continuing as late as early winter in warm conditions. In cool winters, outdoor plants need protection from frost, but the roots are hardier, and may re-sprout in late spring.

But, be careful as all of the parts of the plant are poisonous.My Angel’s Trumpet is growing in a large pot.  I would love to bring the plant indoors to winter over. But I will not since all parts of Brugmansia are  poisonous. The seeds and leaves are especially dangerous.

 

The plants are native to tropical regions of South America, along the Andes from Venezuela to northern Chile, and also in south-eastern Brazil. Most Brugmansia are fragrant in the evenings to attract pollinating moths.

    Your Angel's Trumpet is quite beautiful. I had some when I lived in Texas, but I have not tried growing them down here.

    Thank you for sharing your lovely pictures with us.

    Beautiful flower. If poison, don't think I would bring it inside either.

    It's great that your plant bloomed for you before cold weather.
