Botanical name: Brugmansia x insignis Family: Solanaceae (Potato family)
Magnificent Angel's Trumpet is an evergreen shrub or
small tree that grows up to 8-12 feet tall by 6-10 feet wide with long
flared pink trumpet flowers. This hybrid is a cross between Brugmansia
suaveolens and a hybrid of B. suaveolens and B. versicolor. Its large
widely-flared pale pink flowers hang downwards and darken with age. The
flowers are accentuated by the large dark green leaves. A notable
feature that distinguishes the Brugmansia from the true species of
Datura is that the Brugmansia are large shrubs or small trees and the
Datura, or Jimsonweeds are annual or perennial herbs.
