In Monroe, NC (Zone 7b-8a), it's best to start planting Red Angel Trumpet seeds indoors in late winter to early spring (January–March). This gives them a head start before transplanting outdoors after the last frost, typically around mid-to-late April.
Planting Instructions:
1. Pre-Treating the Seeds
Soak the seeds in warm water for 24 hours to soften the seed coat and improve germination.
Optionally, scarify the seeds by gently rubbing them with fine sandpaper or a nail file.
2. Starting Seeds Indoors
Fill seed trays or small pots with well-draining seed-starting mix.
Plant the seeds ¼ inch deep, covering them lightly with soil.
Keep the soil moist but not soggy.
Maintain a temperature of 70–80°F for the best germination results.
Use a humidity dome or plastic wrap to retain moisture.
⏳ Germination Time: 2–6 weeks.
3. Transplanting Outdoors
After the last frost date (around mid-April in Monroe, NC), harden off the seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over 7–10 days.
Choose a sunny, sheltered spot with rich, well-draining soil.
Space plants 3–5 feet apart to allow room for growth.
Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Care Tips:
Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy.
Fertilizing: Apply a balanced fertilizer every 2–3 weeks during the growing season.
Winter Care: Brugmansia is not frost-hardy, so in Monroe, NC:
Grow in a container and bring indoors during winter.
If planted in-ground, cut back and heavily mulch or dig up the plant to overwinter indoors.
Grandfather had about 10 acres in this type of sugarcane. Very hallowed memories of the harvest and the making of that syrup. We would ride the mule or feed the sugar cane through the press. Bees everywhere. He had a cooking bin that had an elevated red clay foundation. Don't have of that but my memories and NOW, some of those same seeds. Appreciate you all.
Wow Garry,
what a nice memories.
sound like a childhood from a fairytale.
we hope you'll have new memories with the new seeds.
thank you for the wonderful review and sharing your beautiful story.
Growing nicely in my garden room until warmer weather then outside
The peppers came. They ended up being rainbow bell peppers. I assumed theybwould be green bell peppers.... But yes the order did arrive
Arrived promptly. Will be planting this spring.
Planning to do the black hearts justice. Given the needed information. Thank you.
Not sure how these babies will grow. Still have two months before inoculation. Hopeful!
yes id did buy and receive bamboo seeds from you. i planted same and now cautiously await some indication the sprouting will begin. we are in northern nj where it is quite cold so i am keeping the plantings in a planter system we use for seedlings. only time luck and patience will tell the ultimate story. if the seeds come to be small plants we will replant into pots until spring and after that we are guardedly optimistic. thanks for the request and service. stewart a farber
The seeds were a Christmas gift for my Farmer / Gardener son. I gave him the seeds today and his face lit up. We both can't wait to see how they grow!
I do not have an indoor garden so I am waiting until spring to plant. I will try planting closer to Feb or March in small pods watering with spray bottle, and slowly introduce the plants to outdoor conditions.
Order 2 five gallon kits but got one small package do the kits all come like this
My order arrived within a full days with grow instructions that were simple to follow. I’ll be ordering more seeds soon.
Had a great germination rate with these seeds. They arrived quickly and nicely packaged.
I’ve bought these seeds to fill in areas in between red creeping tyme plugs I have bought elsewhere. I did realize as the seeds grew
The characteristics of this tyme are very similar to ripple tyme
And I have absolutely no problem with that.
5 months of growth and it came out great
