Sommer Gardens / Thursday, April 14, 2011 / Categories: Brugmansia Brugmansia Brautwalzer returns from a near death experience Brugmansia Brautwalzer, a Monica Gottschalk creation, is an elegant multi-skirt skirt white with thick textured blooms and beautiful corolla teeth. This Angel Trumpet nearly died last summer when I recycled some used potting soil to top off the soil levels on some of my larger plants. A fungus developed at the soil level, girdling the trunk and causing the upper portion of the plant to begin a slow death. I cut the main plant off about six inches above the visible damage and then cut the stalk into several chunks for rooting. I soaked them in a fungicide solution for an hour and then proceeded to root them. I was surprised that most survived and rooted. Now the survivors are rewarding me with blooms.Thick textured blooms typically hold up better in our summer heat. That is why I was anxious to bring this cultivar into my hybridizing program. So far I have one seed pod forming and I hope I can get a couple more to set before our summer heat makes setting pods nearly impossible.
