Botanical Profile

Growing Angel's Trumpet

Brugmansia species are native to the Andes of South America. 'Frosty Pink' forms a woody, multi-branched plant 6–10 feet tall (larger in ground). The large, ovate leaves are soft green. Flowers are 8–12 inches long, flaring at the mouth, hanging like bells. The sweet, intoxicating fragrance peaks at dusk, attracting moth pollinators.

It demands full sun to part shade, rich, moist, well-drained soil, and heavy feeding during growth. Hardy only to about 25°F (-4°C); in zones 9–11, it's a perennial shrub. In cooler zones, grow in large containers and overwinter indoors in a cool, bright spot (may drop leaves). All parts are highly toxic if ingested. A magnificent, fragrant specimen for tropical effects.
