Angel's Trumpet
Name:
Angel’s Trumpet
Botanical name:
Brugmansia spp
Description:
Angel's Trumpet is a flowering shrub to small tree native to the subtropical regions of South America.
Brugmansia is in the solanaceae plant family and is closely related to the Datura genus.
The Angel’s Trumpet can reach a height of 10 metres in ideal growing situations and makes a fantastic addition to any cottage-themed garden. These plants are instantly recognisable by the large, finely hairy leaves, light brown bark and numerous pink to orange trumpet shaped flowers that cover the plant throughout the year, peaking in spring.
The dramatic appearance of these flowers is complemented by an attractive scent in the early evening. As with many solanaceae family plants, the flowers and fruits are toxic and should not
be consumed.
Brugmansia is best suited to warm, frost free climates in fertile, well drained soils where it will grow in full sun or part shade.
Park visitors should be aware that the flowers and leaves of an Angel's Trumpet are quite toxic, and can cause severe illness if ingested (find out more).
Where can they be seen in the Parklands:
The Angel’s Trumpet can be seen in the southern side of the Column Garden in Centennial Park, where it thrives amongst other cottage-themed plantings.
