We are thrilled to bring you one of the finest perennials for those in zones 7 and 8, a deer-resistant shrub for those from zone 9 south, and a great container plant for those of you in the arctic zones north of zone 7. Brugmansias have long been prized for their stunning flowers, but now variegated foliage is also possible. For us, Brugmansia 'Sunset' is a large perennial to 5' tall, adorned with large tobacco-like leaves edged in white. In late summer, the clumps are topped with dozens of fragrant, creamy white flowers that age to light peach...a true showstopper! To overwinter in colder zones, simply take 1-2' cane sections and store in slightly moist peat moss.

You have to work REAL hard to kill one of these plants! Astounding!

I purchased this plant in July and planted it in a new garden. It was lovely and I enjoyed watching it grow. But one day in mid August all the leaves wilted with no prior symptoms. One day it was great, the next every leaf wilted. Then shortly after, almost all the bottom leaves fell off. It still has some leaves at the top, but it's really no longer thriving. I expect it to die eventually and attribute this to all the rain (daily downpours for a while) we've had this Summer in Durham NC. I don't think I'll be trying this plant again, which is too bad because it was really nice in the garden spot I had for it.

Q: The angel trumpet sunset varigated shows the plant in bloom with white flowers. The written description says the blooms are golden peachy. Which is the correct color of the bloom?

M margaret c. 4 years ago

A: Margaret - Excellent catch! Flowers on Brugmansia Sunset start off creamy white and mature to the peachy color. We will update our photos and plant description to fully describe the flower color shift.

A: Elke - Thanks for the question. Your Brugmansia should be planted so that the top of the pot as it ground level or slightly above. It is more important that the planting hole be wide, than deep.Brugmansia is a heavy feeder, so you can do two applications of a timed release organic...view more
