Sommer Gardens / Monday, October 19, 2009 / Categories: Brugmansia, Seedlings A Goliath of an Angel Trumpet Here's an Angel Trumpet seedling that is one Goliath of a plant. Towering over 10 feet tall, this brugmansia cross involving Painted Lady and The Chief is nearly twice the size of other seedlings started at the same time last summer. It is still trying to get its act together. The majority of the blooms are doubles, but it does throw out an occasional single bloom from time to time to confuse me. It has been blooming on and off all summer so the heat does not bother it. I noticed last night that the a couple of the blooms are aging to a light apricot color. This must be a response to the cool weather that just moved in.This one will stay in the watch zone for now, mainly because it is too big for me to do anything with. :) Its trunk is as big around as my arm and even though it is growing in a 4 gallon pot, it is firmly entrenched in the ground and it will take an axe to get it out of here.
