  • Description

  • Notes

A tender, subtropical shrub that grows to 12', the Angel's Trumpet shows conspicuoulsy toothed leaves and enormous, pendant trumpet-shaped flowers of a deep yellow color with "tails". where the petals join. It also has a sweet, heavy night fragrance. It should be grown in sun to part shade, with average to little summer watering. The growth rate is faster with fertilizing, but it is more prone to insect damage. This variety seems to recover faster from hard frosts. -Montery Bay Nursery
