I bought Brugmansia and planted it last year. Only one bloomed. I dug
them
up and put them in my basement for the winter. Don't know how they will
winter over. I did not find them particularly impressive.

Someone in this group, years ago, sent me some seeds that were called
Angel's Trumpet. The people in WV call it Jimson Weed. I believe it is
Datura but don't know. These are white.

The nice thing about Jimson Weed, if that's what it is, is that it self
seeds and comes up and blooms year after year. Would like to get some of
various colors.

Can't wait to get north and get my hands in the dirt.

I have two Brugmansia. They are in pots. Each fall I bring them inside and
put them in the basement. I let them go dormant and keep them barely moist.
In the spring after evening temperatures are no lower than about 50F, I put
them outside. They don't start to bloom for me until early fall sometimes
and they do require frequent heavy feeding or they get chlorotic. The also
require a lot of water.
