Golden Angel's Trumpet (Brugmansia sanguinea 'Aurea') 2L Pot

Brugmansia sanguinea ‘Aurea’ is a golden-yellow form of the Andean Red Angel’s Trumpet.

The plant develops an open, branching habit with broad, softly textured green leaves. Mature plants are expected to produce long, hanging trumpet-shaped flowers in yellow or golden-yellow shades.

The flowers are generally unscented, distinguishing this plant from the separate species Brugmansia aurea, which usually produces fragrant flowers.

In the UK, Golden Angel’s Trumpet is best grown in a large container outdoors during summer and moved into a frost-free greenhouse or conservatory before winter.

Growing Advice

Grow your Golden Angel’s Trumpet in fertile, moisture-retentive but well-draining compost. Move the plant into progressively larger containers as it develops.

Keep the compost consistently moist during active growth. Large plants can require frequent watering during warm summer weather.

Feed regularly with a balanced liquid fertiliser during spring and summer. Change to a high-potassium feed once flower buds begin to appear.

Place the plant in a bright, sheltered position protected from strong winds.

Brugmansia sanguinea generally prefers moderate summer temperatures and may produce fewer flowers during prolonged periods of excessive 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

Golden Angel’s Trumpet may flower from late summer into autumn once mature.

Seed-grown plants may take several growing seasons to flower. The exact depth of yellow or golden colouring will vary naturally.
