iowagourdman, wish I could email you but it's time to do the google search on Brugmansia. These will fit in well with your tropical look and once you have seen them bloom
you will be hooked for life. If you love the Datura look, watch out for those brug blooms! There is a lot if information here is one just sits and reads. Welcome to the group!

yup, you can learn so much here! browse the forum, use the search box at the bottom of the forum page, and you'll be reading for days and days. If there is anything you can't find an answer to, you just ask! Welcome to the addiction, lol.

Yes, you can start brugs inside, from seed or cuttings. Bottom heat and lights.

They do well in pots, though for most (except me, lol) they grow faster and bigger inground. Even if you have them inground, they can be dug up, forced to go dormant and stored for the winter. There is alot of info h ere, especially this time of year on having them go dormant.

Good luck, and welcome!

Welcome to our group. What zone are you? Most of us in the colder places usually start seeds around New Years Day. If you are going to start with cuttings or plants (quicker blooms), you could get them now (as long as it's warm enough to ship them) since it is time to cut them back & bring them in.

You can do a search on here about seed starting, lights, etc & someone will answer if you still don't quite get it.

Just jump in & start posting. We love to see what plants you grow.

Angel Trumpets = Brugmansia. Devil's Trumpets = Datura. Moonflower = Ipomea (large white night blooming).
