Brugmansia 'Betty Marshall', Angel's Trumpet 'Betty Marshall', Flowering Shrub, White Flowers, Creamy Flowers, Evergreen Shrub

Brugmansia ‘Betty Marshall’ (Angel’s Trumpet) is a tropical shrub or small tree laden with huge, pendulous, trumpet-shaped, creamy-white flowers, 8-10 in. long (20-25 cm). Blooming from midsummer to fall, the profuse blossoms actively open and close depending on the time of day. Sparkling against the foliage of long, fresh green leaves, the flowers exude a powerful honeysuckle fragrance in the evenings. This flowering shrub makes a wonderful and dramatic focal point. Easy and fast-growing, it will stop people in their tracks!

  • Grows up to 10-15 ft. tall and wide (300-450 cm).
  • A full sun lover, this plant is best grown in organically rich, moist, well-drained soils. Afternoon shade is appreciated in hot summer areas. Brugmansias are heavy feeders and need regular fertilization during the growing season to promote new growth and flowers.
  • In cool winter areas, grow outdoors in full sun after the danger of frost is passed. Grow under glass in full light over winter with a minimum of 45-50°F (7-10°C). In warm winter areas, plant as a specimen. Perfect for beds and borders, Mediterranean gardens or containers.
  • Virtually disease free – watch for glasshouse red spider mite, glasshouse whitefly, thrips, and mealybugs under glass.
  • All parts are highly toxic if ingested and sap may be an irritant. Wear gloves and other protective equipment when handling.
  • Toxic to dogs, toxic to cats, toxic to horses, toxic to humans.
