Angel Trumpet SEEDS - ORANGE GLORY Fragrant flowers

Brugmansia — Angel Trumpet ‘Orange Glory’ — is one of the most jaw-dropping tropical plants you can grow, producing enormous pendant trumpet-shaped flowers up to 20–30 cm (up to 20 inches) long in a vibrant, deepest orange. Each flower releases a gorgeous perfumed fragrance, most intense in the evening, making this an outstanding patio, deck, and conservatory plant. Plants can produce dozens — even hundreds — of blossoms simultaneously and bloom continuously from midsummer right through frost. Grows 6–8 feet tall rapidly. Native to South America. Deer and rabbit resistant — all plant parts are toxic. Hardy in Zones 8–11; grown as a tender perennial or annual in colder climates.

⚠️ Toxicity warning: All parts of Brugmansia are highly toxic if ingested. Deer and rabbit resistant as a result. Handle with care and keep away from children and pets.

Sowing Guide

Pre-sowing: Soak seeds for 24 hours in lukewarm water to improve germination rates.

Sowing: Sow in cell packs or flats, press seeds into soil and barely cover — seeds need light to germinate. Maintain at 60–70°F. Germination: 21–60 days.

Transplanting: Move seedlings to 3-inch containers once large enough to handle. Transplant to garden 4 feet apart when rooted and after frost risk has passed.

Care Guide

Light: Full sun to part sun.

Water: Ample water required for best performance; tolerates average moisture. Rich soil with ample water produces the most spectacular results.

Soil: Average to rich; excellent drainage preferred.

Winter care: In zones below 8, bring containers indoors before frost to a frost-free, bright location. Provide some light and minimal water over winter.

Seed pods: Thorny seed pods develop after bloom; excellent for cutting and display.
