These exotic beauties can transform a terrace
or patio into a tropical paradise.
Angel Trumpet is a small tree that gets 6-15' tall,
usually with a many-branched single trunk. The overall plant has a coarse
texture but the flowers are remarkably beautiful. They are sweetly fragrant,
about 12" long and shaped like trumpets. The flowers are usually
white but may be yellow or pink and are pendulous, hanging almost straight
down.
When in bloom it never fails to attract attention. Use it where you want to make a bold statement. Its large, coarse leaves and huge drooping flowers will be the center of attention. Use it in mixed shrub borders for contrast, or as an accent plant on the patio. As a specimen, position Brugmansia suaveolens in an open area where it can have center stage for maximum impact.
(Warning: All parts of this and other angel trumpets
are narcotic and poisonous.)
