Brugmansia are large shrubs or small trees, with semi-woody, often many-branched trunks. They can reach heights of 3ââ¬â11 m 10ââ¬â36 ft. The leaves are alternately arranged along the stems, generally large, 10ââ¬â30 cm 4ââ¬â12 in long and 4ââ¬â18 cm 2ââ¬â7 in across, with an entire or coarsely toothed margin, and are often covered with fine hairs. The name `angel`s trumpet` refers to the large, pendulous, trumpet-shaped flowers, 14ââ¬â50 cm 6ââ¬â20 in long and 10ââ¬â35 cm 4ââ¬â14 in across at the opening. They come in shades of white, yellow, pink, orange, green, or red. Most have a strong, pleasing fragrance that is most noticeable in the evening. Flowers may be single, double, or more.
