Angels Trumpet 'Ibarra' (Brugmansia vulcanicola) 2L Pot
Brugmansia vulcanicola ‘Ibarra’ is an Andean flowering shrub grown for its narrow, hanging trumpet-shaped flowers.
The plant develops a branching habit with oval green leaves. Mature plants from this seed line are expected to produce long tubular flowers in deep pink, reddish-pink or related shades.
Brugmansia vulcanicola originates from high-altitude areas of Colombia and Ecuador. It generally prefers moderate summer temperatures and cooler nights rather than prolonged heat.
In the UK, ‘Ibarra’ is best grown in a large container that can be moved into a frost-free greenhouse or conservatory during winter.

Growing Advice
Grow your ‘Ibarra’ Angel’s Trumpet in fertile, moisture-retentive but well-draining compost. Move the plant into progressively larger and stable containers as it develops.
Keep the compost consistently moist during active growth, but do not leave the pot standing in water.
Feed regularly during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertiliser. Change to a high-potassium feed once flower buds begin to develop.
Place the plant in a bright and sheltered position protected from strong winds. The leaves and young branches can be damaged in exposed locations.
Brugmansia vulcanicola generally prefers cooler conditions than many tropical Brugmansia species. Provide good ventilation and protection from excessive afternoon greenhouse heat.
Overwinter in a bright, frost-free greenhouse or conservatory, ideally above approximately 7–10°C. Reduce watering during winter while growth is slow.
Flowering in the UK
‘Ibarra’ may flower from late summer into autumn once it has reached sufficient maturity.
Seed-grown plants may require two or more growing seasons before flowering. Flower colour, markings and shape will vary naturally.
