Notes
Angel's trumpet (Brugmansia versicolor) is a shrub for borders and containers. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 9 and warmer, down to about 20°F (-7°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. It is fragrant and evergreen, and it blooms in summer and again in autumn. It can reach about 10 to 15 feet tall, so give it room.
Pairs well with Night-blooming jasmine, Angel wings, and Kimberly queen fern.
