Some resources list Brugmansia seeds, flowers and leaves as poisonous if a significant amount is ingested. The toxic principals are atropine, scopolamine, and hyoscyamine.
Symptoms include hallucinations, dry mouth, muscle weakness, increased blood pressure and pulse, fever, dilated pupils, paralysis.
We tend to err on the side of caution in PlantFiles, and the poisonous details listed above are a precaution to gardeners, parents and pet owners.

One of the most frequent flowering brugs for the Texas heat during the summer. Large fuzzy leaves shade the blooms and they last for several days. Unfortunately grasshoppers have been eating the leaves this year but other than that have had no pests for 2 years. The smell is wonderful and perfumes the yard.
The flower on this plant is different from other Brugmansias and has a wonderful scent.
