Angel's Trumpet - 'Fruit Salad' (Brugmansia)
A showstopping shrub that transforms any space into a tropical getaway, angel's trumpet boasts huge, pendulous blooms that perfume the air in the evening. With its unique trumpet-shape flowers and quick-growing nature, this exotic beauty offers a multitude of reasons to give it a try in your own garden, although like many ornamental plants, all parts of Brugmansia can be toxic. All 7 species are listed as Extinct in the Wild by the IUCN Red List.
In modern medicine, important alkaloids such as scopolamine, hyoscyamine, and atropine, found in Brugmansia and other related members of Solanaceae, have proven medical value for their spasmolytic, anti-asthmatic, anticholinergic, narcotic and anesthetic properties, although many of these alkaloids, or their equivalents, are now artificially synthesized
Brugmansia 'Fruit Salad' is a lovely mix of colors: blush pink, bright yellows, peach and corals. It is truly an unusual angel.
