Brugmansia Betty Marshall (Angels Trumpet)

Brugmansia 'Betty Marshall' (Angel's Trumpet) is a tropical shrub or small tree laden with huge, pendulous, trumpet-shaped, creamy-white flowers, 8-10 in. long (20-25 cm). Blooming from midsummer to fall, the profuse blossoms actively open and close depending on the time of day. Sparkling against the foliage of long, fresh green leaves, the flowers exude a powerful honeysuckle fragrance in the evenings. This flowering shrub makes a wonderful and dramatic focal point. Easy and fast-growing, it will stop people in their tracks!
