It’s a reason to hold out hope for a late freeze. Just when they’ve come into their own in prolific showy displays, upward facing daturas and pendulous brugmansias make a heroic last stand in the face of their certain demise. Incongruous amidst the surrounding autumn foliage, these tropical beauties, more commonly known as Angel Trumpets, herald their end exuberantly. Terribly toxic, wear gloves when removing dying stalks from the garden. Brugmansia cuttings can be potted and overwintered in cool, dark spots that don’t freeze, like an unheated cellar. Collect datura seeds and start new plants in the spring.
