Description

Bring bold, tropical drama to your garden with this spectacular pink Brugmansia. Its enormous, pendulous trumpet flowers can reach up to 30cm long, creating a lavish display of colour and filling the evening air with rich fragrance.

Known as Angel's Trumpet, Brugmansia earns its name with blooms that are wonderfully theatrical in both size and shape. Fast growing and full of presence, it quickly develops into an impressive feature plant, whether displayed in a large patio pot or used as a standout focal point in a warm, sheltered border through summer.

Given warmth, moisture and protection from frost, it grows strongly and flowers generously from summer into autumn, rewarding with months of colour, scent and real wow factor. Its nectar-rich blooms are also highly attractive to pollinators, adding even more value to its display.

As a tender perennial, it simply needs winter shelter in a bright, frost-free spot, where it can be kept until warmer weather returns.

Supplied as an established plant in a 9cm pot, ready to plant.

Important: All parts of the Brugmansia plant are toxic if ingested. Please keep away from children and pets.

Top Tips

Remove faded flowers and any damaged leaves to keep the plant tidy and to help direct its energy into fresh growth and repeat flowering
Expect fast growth and large leaves, so shelter from strong winds is important and taller stems may need light support as the plant gains height

Care Information

How To Plant:

Unpack Brugmansia Pink straight away on arrival, check the compost and water lightly if it feels dry, then place the plant in a bright, warm and sheltered spot out of cold winds
Pot on from the 9cm nursery pot into a slightly larger container using rich, fertile, moisture-retentive but free-draining compost, then move into larger pots as it grows
Choose a warm, sheltered position in sun, as Brugmansia performs far better with plenty of light, warmth and protection from strong winds
Grow in a large patio pot where possible, as this makes watering simpler through summer and allows the plant to be moved under cover before cold weather arrives

Ongoing Care:

Water regularly through spring and summer, as Brugmansia is a thirsty plant in active growth and container-grown specimens may need daily watering during hot weather
Feed regularly during the growing season, especially once buds begin to form
Move the plant into a bright, frost-free place before the first autumn frosts, such as a greenhouse, conservatory or cool indoor room, as Brugmansia is not winter hardy
Cut the plant back in autumn if needed to make it easier to move and manage over winter, as it will regrow strongly once warmth returns in spring
Water sparingly in winter, keeping the compost just slightly moist rather than wet, and stop feeding until new growth starts again in spring
In spring, begin watering more regularly as growth restarts, repot if roots are filling the container, and gradually acclimatise the plant before moving it back outside
