Brugmansia 2

Walnut. You might be able to get a week out of a Brug. flowerb-0. I consider myself lucky if they last three days

 

I have grown 3 plants from seed this year the first time for me and I am very pleased with the results I would like to thank Walnut for his time and advice
I have 3-4 flowers on each plant and they are about 5ft tall in containers I would like to know how to overwinter them if I can grat3ful for any info on this subject

 

Nathan go back to page 2 on this thread about halfway down the page I have said how it is usually done.:thumb:

 

Not Long now

 

Hey, Cutie, was just shutting down ....

Looks like you'll see those beauties soon .... hopefully your weather holds out for you ..... fingers and toes crossed ..... anxiously awaiting the pics ... :luv:

Night, night .... catch you later in the week. xx

 

Thanks Lol, N,N...Ps its cold here today :(

 

Looking good young daisy.:thumb:

 

Dee. If it's outside, maybe you could put fleece over it at night. The weather forecast doesn't look too clever for the frozen North

 

Your right Caj, its really cold Tonight :(

 

Protect it. We all want you to see/smell the flowers:thumb:
Next year it'll flower earlier. Unless walnut says different:D

 

Ahhh About next year, How do :cnfs: Its ok im gonna read the whole thread for info, Walnut must be sick of repeating himself haha :thmb:

 

Yeah. I'm sure we all get on walnut's nerves a bit. If you google Brugmansia, there's lots of info. there. Not sure about over-wintering them in garages. When I tried that, they died

 

Mines going in the Greenhouse Caj, "where" i dont know, the Tropicals have sort of took it over, ill make room tho

 

Your right about the threat of frost Caj so keep a weather eye open Young Daisy, page 2 on this thread has some info on overwintering but don't hesitate to ask if fails to answer your questions.
I did overwinter some outside last year(with certain protection measures) and had a 60% success rate although the plants grew and flowered ok this year they didn't have the same vigour.
Some named varieties can stand the cold better than others,over in the states they are regularly overwintered outside.
Some were overwintered in the polytunnel with no heat 90% success recovered better and quicker than the ones left outside.
Some overwintered in the greenhouse min temp.8-10c these carried on growing in fact the Arborea variety were throwing out flowers on and off all winter,the light/heat box was in the g/house and seeds and plants were raised throughout the winter very successfully.
Temperature inside the g/house will be dropped to 5c this winter on the grounds of funding.

This is my first time growing one of these lovely plants I had three seeds from my friend Walnut and this is the result I am so glad I tried them and hopefully will be able to grow them next year
