Does well in the ground in the hill country near Austin, but needs regular water and feeding during the height of summer in order to bloom. Afternoon partial shade helps. I cut it back to the ground and mulch heavily for the winters.

This plant is a strong grower and has no problems with spider mites even though the plant touching it was covered with them. It bloomed all summer off and on and in the final flush of summer right now it has finally dropped its skirts. I too would say it would do great in cooler summer temps.

This plant likes cooler climates It has bloomed very well here but hasn't dropped it's skirt, till the temps dropped here. It has a fresh smell, My only white and I must say my favorite Brug thus far. It isn't bothered by aphids like some of the other whites i have seen. Very heavy blommer. blooms in flushes.

This is probably the finest Brugmansia I grow.
Nothing compares to its beauty, especially when seen as darkness falls.
I like the coloured and fancy brugs. But 'the whites' have a specialness all their own.
