My Brug.

nice calendar, Walnut, and beautiful picture in July

 

So which are the hardiest Brugs, I fancy growing some from seed? I have only grown annual Daturas before but want something more permanent.

 

Good question Frogs.
It will stay in this pot for next year and then will reassess the following year.
It is amazing how much water they need when the plant is large.

 

Thanks walnut, but I really like the sangs as you call them, the others are spectacular, but I think this is something special.
Its them or nothing for me.

Apart from the odd datura that is.

 

Strongy the hardiest Brugs are the Sanguineas and the Arboreas they will stand a touch of frost lose leaves but will recover,there are several of the Suaveolens type that can be cut mulched and overwintered outside in zone 8b,got some pods ripening at the moment will send you some seed when they are ripe.There are a couple of the Daturas that can be grown as perennials, D.inoxia and D.wrightii.
On the question of pots some growers use 14"x14"pots quite sucessfully I prefer 18" pots minimum, they are very thirsty plants with a smaller pot you end up watering them several times a day they also tend to blow over unless you bury the pot, they are trees given more room the bigger they grow.
