The common name "angel trumpets" is often shared with the genus Datura (closely related). The genus differs from datura because it is much larger, perennial, and woody (the species Datura, they are herbaceous), and Brugmansia has the hanging branches (datura have the erect branches).
Brugmansia sanguinea red flowers, is a species with unique particularity in the genus, are pollinated by hummingbirds, the others are pollinated mainly by bats.
Brugmansia sanguinea is still very rare in cultivation. Few plants evoke as much sighing and attention as this little tree or shrub with huge tubular flowers that persist from spring to autumn.
With lush foliage and flowers between 25 and 30 cm in length that is deliciously fragrant, often blooming in their first year from seeds, it is a true gift from the skies ... They can turn a balcony or terrace into a true tropical paradise. In the cool, moist air of night, its aroma is more intense.
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
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.
