Brugmansia x cubensis ‘Charles Grimaldi’ (Angel’s Trumpet)

Regarded as one of the most fragrant Brugmansias, Brugmansia x cubensis ‘Charles Grimaldi’ (Angel’s Trumpet) is a vigorous tropical shrub or small tree laden with impressive quantities of exceptionally large, pendulous, trumpet-shaped, soft to golden yellow flowers, 15 in. long (37 cm), adorned with strongly recurved petals. Blooming from midsummer to fall, they actively open and close depending on the time of day. Sparkling against the foliage of large, toothed, fresh green leaves, the flowers exude a powerful fragrance in the evenings. This flowering shrub makes a large, dramatic, focal point. Easy and fast-growing, this is also one of the showiest of all Brugmansias. Its beauty will bring you to your knees!
