Angel's Trumpets Maya

Trumpets of Brugmansia 'Maya' emerge creamy apricot then deepen to salmon pink. The foliage is variegated; each leaf has a decorative white border. A stunning foliage and flower combination. Flowers appearing in cold weather can be white but as the weather warms they will colour up.

This elite selection of Brugmansia has been bred in Australia, with a focus on fragrance, floral beauty, improved flower numbers and increasingly vigorous plants. The best of the best if you will.

Brugmansia are commonly known as Angel's Trumpets for their beauty and heavenly fragrance. They have high ornamental value with lush foliage and masses of highly fragrant flowers that bloom for months on end. Brugmansia are fast growing shrubs that bring a touch of the exotic to your garden. They will flower for most of the year in warm climates and only stop blooming in autumn and winter in cool climates. The flowers of Brugmansia are most fragrant at night; as they are pollinated by moths.

Brugmansia are easy to grow plants and don't require much care. They will only need pruning if they become too large for their lot or you would like to shape them into a tree. Plant your Brugmansia in full sun to part shade in cool climates. In warmer climates, morning sun or part shade is best.

Brugmansia also grow well in pots. Choose a large container and fill it with good quality, well draining potting mix. Keep the pot moist during active growth and add a liquid fertiliser every other week. If you live in a cold climate, growing your Brugmansia in pots means you can easily protect them from harsh frosts as they establish. Protect your young Brugmansia shrubs from slugs and snails. You should also keep an eye out for Aphids and treat with your choice of insecticide.

Brugmansia can be left to grow as a shrub, or pruned into a tree shape.
