Brugmansia

Hi, I live on the South Coast and grow Brugmansia. Iprune them in Autumn and keep them frost-free. every February they look decidedly unhappy and sometimes I lose the odd plant. Can anyone help with this problem, Thanks

They're sub-tropical, so they'd probably prefer a balmy 60 degrees rather than merely frost-free! Still, as long as most of them stay alive you're doing alright. Everything in my greenhouse looks grim come February but most of it perks up when the warmer weather arrives.

Anyone got any brugmansia cuttings to trade? I left mine out on a frosty night by accident - it really, really didn't like that.

Thanks garden_nerd. I'll keep them warm and hope! I've got a 2yr. old yellow Brug. that I'd gladly trade but given the size of it, transport would be a problem. I live near Southampton.
