Beautiful new variety with flowers changing color from white through yellow to peach, with very long trumpets. Hardy to zone 7, these plants are also easy to keep in large pots and bring into the house for the winter. However, they require regular, heavy feeding to consistently produce the showy, trumpet shaped, pendant flowers. Temperature and growing conditions can cause great variation in the size and color of the flowers. You may see different color flowers on the same plant as well. See Brugmansia Page
