Positive	milesplants	On Jun 9, 2002, milesplants wrote: i have grown this plant for about seven years, it is a herbaceous perennial in my zone 8 garden. the plant dies to the ground in winter, I cut it to the ground before the first frost and add between 6-12 inches of mulch, yard clippings and or leaves to this plant. it comes back in spring and at this writing it is 6-7 feet tall and some 4 feet around and is covered with buds which open yellow and turn pink/peach on the second day, plant may have 100 or so blooms on it at any one time. the blooms are fragrant only after dark but is very fragrant, I suspect in its native habitat it is pollinated by moths. I am also experimenting with a yellow brugmansia which I planted two years ago and it has successfully overwinter for two years. I hope to share the name of this plant at a later date.
