Brugmansia
x candida * Datura or Trumpet Tree |
I think of Brugmansia
candida as a large shrub or
small tree. The blooms are incredible for their size and prominence
and fragrance. Legend
has it that by sleeping under Trumpet trees strange dreams come to you.
Brugmansia and Datura might be
intoxicating but they are also extremely poisonous and should not be
ingested or planted where children are likely to play.
Brugmansia candida gets to 20
feet or so in a frost protected location. It can do quite well in a shady location
as well as in direct sun near the coast. At my house Brugmansia
candida grows 6-8 feet during the summer and
usually dies back to 2" wood or the ground if it is a rough winter.
