Brugmansia Marshmallow Sunset is showing off its fall coloring now that the weather has cooled.

MARSHMALLOW SUNSET - FALL COLOR - 4.jpgBrugmansia Marshmallow Sunset is an Angel Trumpet I recently named and registered.  It was grown out from a Brenda Delph cross involving New Orleans Lady x (Angel's Flight x Charming).

MARSHMALLOW SUNSET - FALL COLOR - 1.jpgHere in Florida Marshmallow Sunset stays cream colored during the warmer months.  From November through April the blooms are fringed with an apricot orange color.  It was this unique coloration that inspired me to name the seedling Brugmansia Marshmallow Sunset.

MARSHMALLOW SUNSET - FALL COLOR - 3.jpgI plan to release this new Angel Trumpet cultivar to plant enthusiasts in early 2012 when my online store opens.  I am currently finishing off about 150 4" pots of Marshmallow Sunset with more cuttings being rooted for summer availability.


MARSHMALLOW SUNSET - FALL COLOR - 2.jpgI have made lots of crosses with Marshmallow Sunset both as pod parent and as a pollen parent. Many of those seedlings are maturing and will bloom for the first time in 2012.  I have great expectations for many of those crosses.
