Prized for their tropical look and impressive trumpet-shaped blossoms, Brugmansias (Angel’s Trumpets) are evergreen shrubs or small trees of great beauty. Fragrant, these South American natives release their powerful scent most readily in the evenings. Long-lived and incredibly decorative, they are fairly easy to grow and add high drama to the garden or containers. Angel’s Trumpets rank as a top choice among tropical flowers for enthusiasts and gardeners.
Toxicity: Brugmansia is highly toxic to humans, pets, and livestock if ingested or inhaled in large quantities. Poisonous parts include flowers, leaves, and seeds, containing toxic compounds atropine, scopolamine, and hyoscyamine. Symptoms include hallucinations, dry mouth, muscle weakness, dilated pupils, fever, paralysis, and increased blood pressure and pulse. Handle with care.
