Description

The listing, PACKAGE of 50 ANGEL TRUMPET PLANTS SEEDS has ended.

A friend sent me 20 seeds 3 years ago and my first photo shows my first attempt at growing them in a pot. Second photo shows it blooming at night. After the flowers drop off a seed pod grows and after it dries up you should snip it off and recover all the seeds.
I did that the first year and when I got the seeds ready to plant the following year I thought they were dead so I tossed them in the flowerbed...You can see from my photos that they just took off and filled my flower beds. I dont try to winterize them. I pull them out or trim down to the ground and they come back in full force the following spring. They are a tropical plant and living in hot Texas they thrive even in full sun. They bloom at night and the blooms stay on a few hours afterwards in the norning. The smell is wonderful...The plants are toxic but it doesnt kill grasshoppers...haha. Wash your hands after touching the plant parts.. You will have tons of seeds if you cut the pods off the plants and place the pods in a brown paper sack. After they dry out you can dig the seeds out.

Look at my other auctions...For those with shipping charges I do combine shipping.

Yes they are toxic but I find they do not kill grasshoppers and caterpillers...two insects I hate because they destroy. One grasshopper almost destroyed one entire plant before i caught him..
