My experience with it is it likes even moisture, cooler temperatures ( to bloom) than most other Brugs and is difficult to bring to bloom. If it is too warm for it's liking it drops it's buds very easily.
I am on my third year with it here and if it doesn't bloom it's going.
Your location may be better for it than mine and it may perform better and faster for you, hopefully.

ruth_ann, is yours potted? I have heard they can be very tempermental, I'm hoping that the cooler marine air will be to her liking also and I'll keep it potted so I can move it around.Have you had any buds on it yet? ***Suzanne

I have one potted in a large pot standing in my pond and one in the ground for the last 2 seasons. The one in the pot in the pond put out buds and held them last fall but so late that I had to uproot and repot it to bring it in for the season so it didn't get the chance to flower.

MMMMMMM
late and wet.. well it is late here for me...so I'll not worry.. thanks..
in the pond... interesting... I've had to water mine all of the time... it's always a dry planter..so I water it a lot...but it's doing well at may be 7' - 8 ' in full sun.. and never a yellow leaf... It isin the most favored spot available..from a sun and breeze stand point.. as well as in the most photographic sspot..I've got grand plans for it'ssuccess this year for me..
dreams are the motor of the future... ha ha ha

Well,I've only been growing mine this year.It is now starting to y,so I hope to get blooms in the remaining 9 weeks or so ontil frost.

I HAD one for 2 years and no blooms. I killed it last winter by overwintering too warm. This was going to be its last chance anyway. I was told by the grower who sold it to me, that it likes our milder marine climate and it should have bloomed. I could have treated it better I suppose, but my other brugs bloomed.

My HG has formed a Y!!I looked for the tiny buds-but didn't see any.It is a slower grower-may 30 inches tall.We still have at least 8 weeks till frost-so I'm confident I'll get a bloom this year,as long as it sets a bud within the next 30 days!!

Mine set buds last year about mid Sept but dropped them before they could bloom as it got close to frost time. I have had buds on it this year for 3 weeks, they are now 2" long so I am hoping they open for me this year. ( it's 3rd year)

My double orange set buds in the past week or so, so I expect to get them before the frost. Last year, they were gorgeous.

It seems that Brugmansia are doing very well in Canada, at least ,this summer.

Do hope you folks get to see bloom.

Ruth, maybe I can get a cutting of Herrenhauser Garten and take it down south this winter.

Does anyone have double brugmansia cuttings that I could buy? All of the online stores are sold out, or are on back order. I'd like to have the orange, yellow, and any other double brug that is out there, though I do not want datura's, I have no luck with those. Thanks...

Your on Diane! I have an entire plant to pass along so there will be lots of cuttings on HG available. I will post the w/e I am doing it, in advance a little. HG may not like the warmth of the South though I don't think.

Where can i get one of those brugs? I like the variegated white plants but I could not get it to bloom just like this double you have.
