For the first time we have an Angel's Trumpet plant, which is yellow. We also have some cuttings from a pink one. Can we leave the plants in the ground over the winter, or do we take it inside? They are all in large containers, have been pruned into the tree shape. We are in Tennessee where our winters get as low as 0 degrees.
Did not realize the plants are poisonous, am learning a lot from your website-thanks.

Seeds may benefit from stratification or GA-3 pre-treatment. The fact, that high germination rate is best obtained by treated seeds indicate, that the fruits in the natural environment fall of the plant, where after the fleshy fruit rots to release the seeds. It is based on the knowledge, that decaying plantparts release several different Gibberellic Acids, that is immediately absorbed by the seeds in order to cause rapid germination.
