Brugmansia ' Double White'

This showy plant from Central and South America produces large trumpet shaped flowers. Also known as Angel's Trumpet, this is a heat-loving tropical. Prefering warm days and cool nights, it is hardy for ground planting to Zone 8. In areas north of Zone 8, plant in large containers that can be moved indoors during the winter months. Attracts birds and is deer resistant. This plant is poisonous if ingested so keep that in mind when planting.

With its orange blooms, it makes a showy planting in any landscape as a single plant or mass planting. This rose will work in Zones 5-10 in full sun. In colder climates, it will need winter protection. Disease resistant and generally hardy in most conditions.

Whatever the temperature this plant with its creamy yellow markings will make a splash in any garden. Manihot will work well in containers, a garden bed, full sun or shade. Use as a focal point in your garden or to add a pop of color in front of any solid color planting. This fast grower can reach 3 feet in height with a 4-5 foot width. Normally grown as an annual, but can be trimmed back and moved into a pot over the winter.
