Angels' trumpet (Brugmansia suaveolens 'Pink Delight') brug-MAN-see-ah swah-vee-OH-lenz Genus:  Brugmansia

Foot-long, rich pink blossoms are nocturnally fragrant and pour out from narrow calyces to terminate in wide, flared openings.

Noteworthy Characteristics: 

Few plants evoke tropicalia quite like the Brugmansias , with their voluminous tubular flowers that drip from imposing shrubs or small trees. They look fantastic in containers or plunged into a border, and the dramatic display persists from late spring until autumn. All parts are highly toxic if ingested.

Care: 

In cooler climates, angels' trumpets may be brought under glass or cut back and held dormant in a cool basement. Outdoors: grow in moist, well-drained soil in full sun with filtered afternoon shade; Indoors: water freely and fertilize during bloom, and keep just moist in winter. Brugmansias may respond to extreme heat by dropping their leaves, but they will recuperate with cooler temperatures.

Propagation: 

Take semi-ripe cutttings in summer; sow seed in spring.

Problems: 

Spider mites, white flies, mealybugs, caterpillars, aphids.
