Sommer Gardens / Thursday, April 21, 2011 / Categories: Brugmansia A variegated Angel Trumpet surprise While out pollinating my Angel Trumpet blooms earlier this week I stumbled across this variegated sport on a brugmansia Fantasma plant. At first I almost did not notice it because this Fantasma plant is growing beside, and is intertwined with, another variegated Angel Trumpet, Brugmansia 'Freckles'.The variegated branch starts out from a "Y", which I find rather strange. As you can see in the photograph below, the lower half of the 'Y' is solid green and the upper part is variegated. The variegation is a golden cream on green which is sort of unusual by itself. I'm trying to contain my excitement about finding this because variegated sports can be fickle. This branch could easily revert back to green and the variegation disappear. As soon as this branch gets a bit more woody, I plan to take a cutting and root it. If you are not familiar with Brugmansia 'Fantasma', it has a large white shredded style bloom. I found that this cultivar performs better for me than the more common Brugmansia 'Shredded White'.Who knows, perhaps next year you will see the introduction of the world's first variegated brugmansia with shredded blooms! Invasion of the plant snatcher... This new Angel Trumpet seedling makes a spectacular debut.
