Brugmansia Angel Salmon Perfection

Brugmansia plants are also called Angel Trumpets or Moonflowers and are beautiful features in a garden.
They are normally fast growing and flower regularly every 6 to 8 weeks. They can be planted in pots or in the garden. For the plants to flower well, feed them every 2 weeks. They are frost sensitive and have high water requirements.

Although the plant is a shrub, it can be cut into a small tree by removing bottom leaves and branches.

Plant in a protected spot, with lots of light or morning sun. It loves a very humus rich soil – add some manure, for best results. Angel Trumpets have a small root system and can be planted close to walls for protection from wind and frost. Do not be alarmed if the bottom leaves turn yellow. That is normal.
Angel Trumpets can be planted close together.  You will end up with a beautiful huge multi-colour huge shrub that flowers continuously.

Brugmansia has very few enemies.  In pots – mostly only Red spider mite, and aphids.

Don`t be alarmed if your brugmansia  drop its buds on a whim when there are any sudden changes in growing conditions, e.g a sudden cold front in summer. It will quickly recover and make loads of new buds.

All Angel Trumpet buds are yellow when opening and will change to either their colour when fully open, or to white and then turn their colour as the flower ages. Blooms will be darker in warmer seasons than in colder seasons.  That means you can have a plant with yellow, white and pink flowers simultaneously.

Although the plant is described as being toxic, I have never experienced any side effects from working with them, even when I got sap in my eyes and mouth.

Bees love the plant.

Brugmansia Angel Salmon Perfection

This is a very rare, first time available in South Africa, imported plant with medium triple salmon pink flowers.

Although I received the cutting 3 years ago. She flowered only now for the first time. And therefor the cuttings will now be available for the first time.

The flowers are smaller but extremely decorative in a soft pink. The blooms have 3 skirts therefore called a Triple pink. The skirts have long tentacles, and the flowers are long lasting. In a protected spot the flowers can last a week or longer and numerous other buds will also appear. The buds open as yellow and turn to pink in a day or two.

This is truly an exotic Angel Trumpet and I think she will be well worth the effort of 3 years of pampering to get her to flower. She should produce well in the coming season.

Actual size of plant when couriered – 30-50cm

Can reach 2m x 1.5m in frost free areas in 2 years.

Angel Salmon Perfection is an exotic plant with little fuss. She is definitely worth the little effort she requires.
