Brugmansia versicolor (Angel's Trumpet) is a vigorous tropical shrub or small tree laden with exceptionally large, pendulous, trumpet-shaped, peachy-apricot flowers, 15 in. long (37 cm). Blooming from midsummer to fall.
In late summer or fall, when temperatures drop near freezing, cut back on watering and stop fertilizing. Before the first frost, move the brugmansia into storage to go dormant. All you need is a cool, dark, frost-free place — 30 to 45 degrees F. is ideal. When watering, the goal is to keep the soil moist, but not soggy. During the hottest part of the summer, you will probably have to water every day. To make watering easier, consider sinking the pot into a garden bed, which will help the plant retain moisture.
Begin pruning the plant when the main trunk forms its first “Y” and then prune back any older branches to encourage additional branching. Cut back as much as one-third of the plant. For larger plants, this could be as much as 1 to 2 feet (0.5 m.).
Grow in well-drained, moderately fertile soil in a sheltered, sunny site. Protect in winter in cold areas.
Use ceramic pots that are porous which means your plants are less likely to experience root rot from overwatering.
