I planted my Brugmansia a few days ago and the plant looks wilted and the leaves look burnt. Any ideas on how to save it?

Frost or sun burn? Protect it for a week or two by temporary shade until it gets acclimated to its new spot.

The temps only dropped into mid to low 40’s. Maybe sun burnt. I planted and it was cloudy and I watered it in then it jumped to 85-86 degrees.

Stick your finger down in the middle of the root ball. Is it dry? If so water it well. If newly planted and the roots still in a tight rootball, the water may be missing the rootball and draining thru the looser dirt of the flower bed.
