Brugmansia sanguinea

By Meanie


Brugmansia sanguinea (Brugmansia sanguinea)

One of the cool group of Brugs so it flowers best in mild autumn and winters.
Surprisingly hardy, this plant survived the winter of 2012/13 outdoors although it took so long to recover that it did not bloom in 2013.

It's in a large pot DD. Place it in full sun and water and feed it well over the summer. The buds will form in autumn. Small buds will die at 0°c, but large buds will flower.
Keep it frost free and in the green over the winter and it will bloom in the spring as well.

DD - with autumn and winter bloomers from far off climates it is important to give them a good summer "baking". This is especially important with dormant South African bulbous species that grow over the winter.
