Brugmansia sanguinea ‘Luteola’ is a yellow-flowered form of the Andean Red Angel’s Trumpet.
The plant develops upright, branching stems carrying broad, softly textured green leaves. Mature plants are expected to produce long, hanging tubular flowers in shades of yellow, pale gold or yellow-green.

Growing Advice
Grow your ‘Luteola’ Angel’s Trumpet in fertile, moisture-retentive but well-draining compost. Move the plant into larger containers as the roots fill the existing pot.
Keep the compost consistently moist during spring and summer. Avoid allowing the plant to wilt repeatedly while buds are developing.
Feed regularly with a balanced liquid fertiliser during active growth. Change to a high-potassium feed once flower buds begin to appear.
Place the plant in a bright and sheltered position. Protect the leaves and branches from strong winds.
Brugmansia sanguinea generally prefers moderate summer temperatures. Ventilate greenhouses during hot weather and provide some shade if the plant shows signs of heat stress.
Overwinter in a bright, frost-free greenhouse or conservatory, ideally above approximately 7–10°C.

Seed-grown plants may require several growing seasons before flowering. Exact flower colour and flowering time cannot be guaranteed.
