Lovely flower DD. I used to have the lemon coloured ones and the moths loved to visit them in the evening.

I've only just seen this.
Four years! You need to move somewhere cooler DD. Mine was out all winter and has had to come back from the roots but it'll flower in the autumn.

Meanie at the moment it is like living in an oven lol sadly no more flowers at the moment!!
Lindak we have a lovely variegated one that flowers every year, and the perfume is divine!
Delonix of course your right, just hoping for some more blooms!!
Feverfew this has proved difficult, was going to dump it!!

Wait until autumn DD!
Feverfew - ignore DD, it's easy!! It just needs to be frost free over the winter and it will bloom in spring and then again in the autumn deep into winter if it is mild enough. If the summer gets too warm put it in the shade. Sorry DD, I should have said that once you've sussed it then it's easy.
My favourite Brugmansia by a long way.

I did all that Meanie, it is in semi-shade, being as it is boiling here, but it still took 4 years lol

How do you overwinter it DD? And do you feed it like you would feed a pig for slaughter?

Meanie in an unheated porch, and yes it gets more food than I do:-D

It's so funny you both feed your Brugmansias so heavily. My many Brugmansia shrubs bloom very heavily almost every month and sometimes twice a month...and I never feed mine (and I can barely give them water). LOL! :>)
