Brugmansia x candida ‘Grand Marnier’ (Angel’s Trumpet)

Strong-growing and free-flowering, award-winning Brugmansia × candida ‘Grand Marnier’ is an evergreen, tropical shrub or small tree boasting huge, pendulous, trumpet-shaped, soft peach-pink flowers, 12 in. long (30 cm), from midsummer to fall. Sparkling against the foliage of large and glossy, oval, mid-green leaves, the flowers exude an intense fragrance in the evenings. They actively open and close depending on the time of day. This flowering shrub makes a large, dramatic, focal point. ‘Grand Marnier’ is one of the oldest garden cultivars in Brugmansia, dating from the 1920s.
