Our friends Chrystal and Richard had a big shrub of this plant in a pot that they moved outside in the spring and back into the garage nearby in Shoreline in the fall/winter. They would cut the plant back and put the stems in water to root them. I took several of those branches off their hands and rooted them in soil and grew them on. That was probably at least 12 years ago. I took cuttings and had half a dozen Brugsmansias at one point. They take up a lot of room and need a lot of fertilizer, so I whittled my collection down to this one plant. Here are photos of it from over the years.
The plant itself isn’t much to write about–just one main trunk with only one medium-sized branch to one side.
This plant needs some attention in 2020. It needs to be repotted and root pruned in March and given some fresh, fertile soil. I’ll move it to the patio and hope for some stronger growth this year and many more flowers.
