Propagation of Brugmansia

Purple Angel's Trumpet or Brugmansia's undulated seed pod in the early stage.

As the seed pod gets fatter, the purple color dissipates and its surface becomes smooth.


And then it starts to crack open.

Open wider and wider and the seeds fall into the ground and become new plants in spring.

  2. That is a Datura not a Brugmansia. Very different plants.
