Rosalie--Brugmansia is a tropical tree which I wrote about in a recent
issue of Flower & Garden. It can be grown indoors but is not really happy
there and is much too large unless you have a conservatory. The main
feature are the 10-12" hanging, bell-shaped blooms in white, yellow or
orange that are wonderfully fragrant. I grow mine outdoors in the summer,
then saw them down to stumps and pot them up for winter. By the next
spring they are usually about 4-5' tall and ready to go out again. Today
each of two trees has 40-50 blooms and perfumes the whole garden. They're
upright-growing versions of Datura, to put it another way. Easy to start
from seed, too.
