Description
The Brugmansia belonged to the Datura-family in the past. However, decades ago, this group was split into Datura and Brugmansia. The main difference between these two plants is the trumpet-shaped flowers. The white, yellow or red flowers of the Brugmansia are much larger than those of the Datura. The Brugmansia is a real container plant that will spread its sweet scent on every balcony and terrace. This plant feels at home in the European climate in summer. Even in the winter months, the Brugmansia can be kept outside as long as it does not freeze. The Brugmansia is also called Angel's Trumpet due to the shape of the flowers. The evergreen tree grows very quickly and has a beautiful, abundant and pleasantly scented bloom. The leaves are large, gray-green and soft with a serrated, wavy or smooth edge. The trumpet-shaped flowers are very large, up to 14-50 cm long and 10-35 cm in diameter.
Care
The large leaves of the Brugmansia are hairy and evaporate so much during the summer months that you cannot avoid watering the Brugmansia every day. Be careful though, a permanently wet soil can lead to root rot. In winter, watering can be staggered, let the soil dry out between waterings but not bone dry or the plant will die. You can easily tell when to water: the leaves hang limp when they need water. The Brugmansia loves the summer heat and survives well in full sun.
Size
The plants have a height of 25-40cm upon delivery, measured including the nursery pot. The plants are supplied in a nursery pot with a diameter of 9cm.
