Angel's Trumpets are beautiful and very easy to grow.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy
Step1
There are many plant and seed catalogs to acquire seeds. The internet is another very good source. Another great way to grow an angel trumpet is to take a cutting from another plant. If you have friends that are growing them I am sure you can get a cutting from them.
Step2
Cuttings should be put into a jar of water for several days until it starts to root. Seeds and cuttings should be planted in a good soil medium. They are very easy to grow. The plant in the photo is about 5 years old and located in Central Florida. Angel trumpets do not tolerate cold very well, so it was covered during a couple of freezes. If it does freeze in the south it will usually come back from the roots.
In the North it can be stored inside during winter if it is not too large.
Step3
Angel Trumpets flower profusely in warm weather. There are many colors to choose from including peach, white, pink and yellow. If grown in a pot it will grow to about 3 feet. It is a very fast growing plant.
Step4
Angel trumpets have a wonderful scent at night. The trumpets are huge and make a beautiful landscape plant in the south and a wonderful potted plant for the patio in the north.
