Angel’s Trumpet - The perfect container plant for fragrant gardens!
Angel's Trumpets, or Brugmansias, make beautiful, show-stopping floral displays when grown as a container plant on a patio or deck or as the focal point in an outdoor garden. Fast growing, trumpet-shaped flowers emit an intoxicating nighttime fragrance for gardeners to enjoy. Flowers range in size from 6” to 12” long and come in a variety of colors, including white, pink, yellow, peach and red. Depending on which variety of Angel’s Trumpet you grow, some flower nearly continuously throughout the growing season and others flower intermittently, especially in abundance when the nights get cooler, and the days become shorter.
Angel’s Trumpets are popular in moon gardens for their sweet alluring evening scent. They are some of the easiest flowers to grow, simply give the plant lots of fertilizer, full sun and daily watering when temperatures are hot and dry. Below are four featured Angel's Trumpet plants for sale at Logee's that we think you'll love, but you can also view all of our Angel's Trumpet plants here.

Angel’s Trumpet plants are relatively low maintenance, making them suitable for both experienced and novice gardeners. During hot, dry weather, the plant requires daily watering but it’s usually resilient and forgiving if occasional lapses in care occur. Grow in full sun and fertilize regularly during the growing season to encourage consistent blooming and vigorous, deep green foliage. Prune to maintain its shape and remove dead or damaged branches. In northern zones, bring your Angel’s Trumpet plant inside for the winter months as it is not cold hardy. Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or a beginner, growing Angel’s Trumpets in containers brings beauty, fragrance and a touch of elegance to your surroundings.
