- Brugmansias, or Angels Trumpets, are fast-growing, tropical shrubs with beautiful, trumpet-shaped flowers. They are highly fragrant at night and lend a romantic feel to any garden location. Mature plants will cycle into bloom several times during the warm season and are a nectar source for night pollinators such as Luna moths.
- Santa Rosa is an upright, large, fast growing registered Brugmansia hybrid that matures as a large, upright tropical shrub at average of 10 feet. It reliably produces large trumpets that begin as a light pastel peach toned pink with a creamy splotched yellow blush and age to a dark peachy pink. The blooms have a distinctive sweet, powder like fragrance at night.
- Care: The most suitable planting location for Brugmansia is in dappled afternoon shade, as they need a full spectrum of bright, indirect light for 4 to 6 hours daily to produce flowers. Plant in well-draining soil high in organic content. Provide supplemental irrigation as needed, but avoid overwatering. Prune lightly and often to help with branching. Feed a good quality, slow-release, bloom-boosting fertilizer annually in the Spring. Protect from frost and freezing.
- Indoor Growing: Brugmansias are not recommended for growing indoors. They require full sun, high temperatures, and high humidity, which makes them unsuitable for indoor growing environments.
- Climate: Brugmansias are tropical plants. They are recommended for growing outdoors in USDA Zones 9, 10, and 11. Protection from cold temperatures is required in all zones for the longest life, overall vigor, and earliest flowering. Note that Zone recommendations are based on average temperatures, and do not take factors such as humidity, rainfall, or day/night temperature variances into consideration. Individual growing environments can vary from the average.
