Properties and uses:
The Angel's trumpet is a shrub which has trumpet-shaped, hanging flowers which can reach 30cm in length. Full of nectar, they attract pollinating insects. They have a subtle lemon fragrance. To make the most of it as from the beginning of summer right through the end of autumn, we recommend to place your angel's trumpet in a sunny but non-scorching site protected from wind. It can also be used to embellish a corner of the terrace in colder winter's areas.
Caution! The foliage and the fruits are highly toxic. -
