Brugmansia suaveolens (Angel's trumpet)

Brugmansia suaveolens

Botanical name: Brugmansia suaveolens

Common name: Angel's trumpet

Origin: Central and South America

Brugmansia suaveolens, commonly known as Angel Trumpet, is a name widely used in horticulture for both pure species and hybrids derived from it. These plants are prized for their large, pendulous, trumpet-shaped flowers in shades of white, cream, pink, or apricot, often with a strong evening fragrance. Flowering can occur year-round in warm climates, with peak blooms in late summer to autumn.

In cultivation, B. suaveolens and its hybrids prefer full sun to light shade, fertile and well-drained soil, and regular watering during active growth. They are typically grown in USDA Zones 9 11, where they can reach small-tree size, but can also be kept in large containers in cooler climates and overwintered indoors. Regular feeding during the growing season promotes abundant blooms. All parts of the plant are toxic if ingested, and handling may cause skin irritation, so care is advised. Brugmansia Page here.
