Description

The listing, PACKAGE of 100 ANGEL TRUMPET PLANTS SEEDS has ended.

A friend sent me 20 seeds 3 years ago and my first photo shows my first attempt at growing them in a pot. Second photo shows it blooming at night. After the flowers drop off a seed pod grows and after it dries up you should snip it off and recover all the seeds.
I did that the first year and when I got the seeds ready to plant the following year I thought they were dead so I tossed them in the flowerbed...You can see from my photos that they just took off and filled my flower beds. I dont try to winterize them. I pull them out or trim down to the ground and they come back in full force the following spring. They are a tropical plant and living in hot Texas they thrive even in full sun. They bloom at night and the blooms stay on a few hours afterwards in the norning. The smell is wonderful...The plants are toxic but it doesnt kill grasshoppers...haha. Wash your hands after touching the plant parts.. You will have tons of seeds if you cut the pods off the plants and place the pods in a brown paper sack. After they dry out you can dig the seeds out.

Look at my other auctions...For those with shipping charges I do combine shipping.

That looks more like poison jimson plant. The angel trumpet doesnt seed. I grow both still are poisonous. Please be careful.

Thanks for your info. What do you mean the trumpet doesn't seed? I looked up the jimson plant and the resemblance is uncanny except the leaves look different and so does the seed pod. Yes I know they are poisionous but the grasshoppers love this plant and I wish it would kill the grasshoppers but it doesn't. lol...I have not planted any seeds in 3 years. They just keep coming back and not from the plants because I pull the plant up in winter...I love it and it is the only thing that grows for me in this hot hot texas sun

I used to live in texas loved it. There are different strains of the jimson they vary from place to place. Both the angel trumpet and jimson are illegal in many states just dont want it to be more trouble then good and always wear gloves when handling. My night garden has made me very sick a time or two. Lovely plants for any garden genius. And very rewarding to veiw. Thank you for your time mam
