Agree with the nicotania. Even though it is an annual, it usually reseeds for
me in TX. Also, we are fortunate to live in a mild area, so we can grow the
brugmansia (or datura, the "angel's trumpets") which reach about 8-10' in
height. It will die to the ground in winter, but will resprout and attain
it's full size each year. When this baby is in bloom, it is magnificent!
There have been over seventy of these HUGH blooms on the tree at one time, and
the scent will perfume half the neighborhood. In fact, the scent is so strong
I planted mine at the farthest corner of my lot, and the fragrance is still
quite strong by the house. One of my absolute favorites!
For spring bloom, you can try Carolina jessamine, which is an evergreen vine
with lovely, fragrant yellow blooms in early spring.
