Angel Trumpet SEEDS - orange flowers

Brugmansia suaveolens — Orange Glory

Few plants command attention like the Angel Trumpet. With pendulous blooms stretching up to 20 inches long and a heady, lemon-tinged fragrance that intensifies at dusk, this tropical showstopper transforms any garden, patio, or container into something truly extraordinary.

Why Gardeners Love It

• Massive, fragrant blooms — deep orange trumpet-shaped flowers up to 30 cm long, blooming repeatedly from midsummer through frost
• Fast-growing — rapidly forms lush, shrubby plants reaching 6–8 feet tall
• Evening perfume — scent peaks at night, making it ideal for patios, decks, and conservatories
• Pollinator magnet — attracts bees, butterflies, and spectacular hawk moths
• Deer-resistant — naturally deer and rabbit resistant due to toxic foliage
• Container-friendly — thrives in large pots; can overwinter indoors in colder climates

Sowing Instructions

1. Soak seeds in lukewarm water for 24 hours before sowing.
2. Press seeds into moist seed-starting mix and barely cover — seeds need light to germinate.
3. Maintain soil temperature at 60–70°F (15–21°C).
4. Germination: 21–60 days.
5. Transplant into 3-inch containers once seedlings are large enough to handle.
6. Space plants 4 feet apart in the garden.

⚠️ Note: All parts of Brugmansia are toxic. Keep away from children and pets. Handle with care.
