FOR high drama in the garden, there's nothing quite like a brugmansia in full bloom. Known as the angel's trumpet, this show-stopper has 6" to 10" blooms that dangle from sturdy branches. In one season, these shrubby, subtropical plants can easily reach 6'. A plant that's been saved from season to season will grow even taller, producing flushes of bloom that can include dozens of flowers.
If you grow the plant in a container and fertilize regularly. Because these plants are thirsty.
If you had plants planted in the ground, in the fall they can be cut back to the soil level to create multiple cuttings or can be dug up and potted to overwinter. The cut-off plants can sometimes be stored over the winter in a cool, dark room where they might produce roots and can then be potted up when they begin producing leaves the next spring.
