7/13/2010 01:56:02 PM Report AbuseI live in So Cal and have Angel Trumpet all over my yard - stick a cutting in the ground and it grows.The yellow one is stronger than the pink (sadly as I prefer the pink). They have a wonderful scent starting in the late afternoon and continuing through night. Bloom profusely year around on and off in So Cal. Given water canna lilys take over my garden! I pull out clumps and share with friends constantly.
7/13/2010 01:09:19 PM Report AbuseWhen can you expect the first bloom? I'm in Massachusetts and nothing yet.
7/13/2010 11:32:59 AM Report AbuseHere in Omaha, NE, my Angel Trumpets have continued to come back each year in massive proportions due to their spikey seed pods,that reseed the garden. In the winter I pull up the entire plant. By June of each year I have hundreds of plants. I always have to give plants and seeds away. I thought they would die off due to our extreme cold winters, but the seeds always survive. Scharol
7/13/2010 11:14:59 AM Report AbuseWe have a number of Brugsmansia (Angel Trumpet) potted around our patios and gardens here in Western Pennsylvania! -- and they are beautiful! During the daytime, the foliage and bloom take center stage, but at night . . . the fragrance is intoxicating! We winter them over in a heated garage, cutting them back quite severely before bringing them back outside after danger of frost is past (they don't survive below 39 degrees). A great plant to try either as a potted tropical or in your garden!
