Angel Trumpets (Brugmansia) tend to not 'come true' from seed, and the default color is white. Cuttings are VERY easy to root, and you always know what you're getting. I will be cutting my brugs pretty soon, if you'd like some cuttings for postage.

Brugmansia and angels trumpets are the same thing. They usually form more of a large bush or tree shape. The blooms on brugmansia hang downward or horizontal, never point up. Brugmansia can be dug up and overwintered indoors and be used year after year. Datura are more like annuals and are also called devils trumpets or thorn apples. Their blooms point upwards. It is my understanding that dats don't overwinter well or do well from cuttings, you are better off to start from seed each year. There are purple dats but still no purple brugs available in the US, although there are some purplish ones in Germany. Hope this helps. Shawn

Sorry I forgot to mention I have sugar apple seeds and cherimoya seeds to trade. Andrew

Sondra, These plants require a LOT of water. If I water mine in the evening, by the time I get home from work the very next day, they are wilted. They spring back up when I water them within about 30 minutes. If you cut off a stem and it looks dead, then it probably is dead. I mean there is nothing green or moist in there - if it looks hollow and dry. Even so, it could still come back from the roots, but probably not if it has gotten too dry. I was keeping mine trimmed up, but it seems they form "Y"s better when you let them grow wild. I have bunches of blooms, but they require a lot of watering. I hardly have time to water them, but keep them going. The variegated plant I have was eaten up by green worms OVERNIGHT!(I think these green worms are from moths). All the leaves looked like skeletons. I lopped off the tops of the 3 main trunks and threw them away because they were so unsightly. Within a month you couldn't tell anything had been done. They are covered in buds and blooms right now These plants are like pets because they require so much watering and attention. I may try to transplant at least one with some of the water holding crystals you can buy. These crystals worked very nicely with my tomato plants and keep me from have to water except maybe every 3 days. We just don't get much rain here and whether it is in the ground, or in a pot, they are going to need water and lots of it. Katie
