Hi All
I have 5 angels trumpets in pots in the garden. All are 5 foot plus. Can anyone advise how to overwinter them? Thought about cutting back by a third and wrapping in bubble wrap but am concerned with rot. No space available in the potting shed so will have to be kept outdoors.
Thanks

I don't think they normally survive outside, though its probably mild where you live. Could you put them in the garage or the loft after they have lost their leaves?

I also live in the UK (leicestershire) and grow daturas outside in the summer - but I bring them into a frost-free greenhouse in winter. They will not survive several freezing days as we expect to get. Cut back and in a garage seems to be your best bet.
