Brugmansia can take the form of a shrub or a small tree. It features long 6-8 inch leaves, arranged alternately on the stems, and is known for its spectacular drooping flowers, which can grow up to 20 inches long! The flowers produce a strong fragrant scent that is most noticeable at night.

Angel Trumpets enjoy the sunlight, but like most plants in south Texas they enjoy some afternoon shade in the summer. The plant also likes its water, so never let it dry out...especially if you grow it in a pot. And while we're on the subject of growing it in a pot, we recommend you do so only while the plant is small. It's a fast grower, and before you know it you'll be watering it 2-3 times a day after it gains some size. Better to just put it in the ground...it'll usually come back from the roots each spring even after a hard freeze.
