Hi,

Brugs are very easy to grow from seed and cuttings. They can be container grown or inground in your zone. Some will take full sun, others less but most need protection from the strongest afternoon sun. Jim (Jeep) is in TX and has been working on growing those that can take the strong TX sun so you might want to check with him about what will do best in your area. You will get blooms faster from cuttings and will know what the flowers will look like as they do not grow true from seed. Most of us have extra cuttings in the fall. Some people might have cuttings available now. I'm sure you'll get more responses. Any well draining soil works just fine. Brugs are heavy drinkers and very heavy feeders during the growing season. Container brugs sometimes need to be watered a couple times a day and I feed 1x/wk. Besides GW members there's some Ebay sellers and nurseries. Country Garden and World of Brugmansia are two that come to mind that are reliable.

Don't forget Phoenixryan too, who lives down by you. He's had lots of successes and I'm sure he'll weigh in.
