This one roots quite easily in water. I didn't lose a single cutting this year. You just need to change the water every other day. I also put mine under a grow light, but I don't think that matters much.

Hey Jeff, If you're moving, are you looking to trade for seeds only? I do have seeds that aren't listed on my out-of-date trade list...and lots of plants. I started collecting brugs just this year and have 17 plants so far. I grew some from seeds & the rest from cuttings. I've been posting a few pics on the Brug forum. I'm wondering...did I trade daturas with you last year? Patrick

i don't have any brugs for trade but would be happy to trade something else if you have a couple nice double purples to trade. my trade list is outdated, but what are you looking for? off the top of my head i have a couple tea rose bushes, or small hydrangeas, a passion vine...

@puglvr1 They only bloom from the part that makes the "Y." I dont' honestly remember much about growing them in 9b. It seems they went semi-dormant and lost leaves, but didn't freeze back. They grow quickly, so if they die back, they will come back up and make "Ys" again next year. They usually bloom the first year. These were small cuttings when I planted them, and all of them are going to bloom eventually. @ut2nc You can buy the cuttings on eBay, or go to the Brugmansia exchange forum, and there is always someone giving cuttings away in the fall. You have to keep them safe from freezing over the winter, but they root very quickly. When I had them in SC, I would put the the trimmed limbs into a bucket on the back porch in the winter, and they would be rooted and ready to plant by spring.
