A while ago someone, I think Kenboy and Maggie, were going to try Brugs in hanging baskets....anyone know how that is going? Which ones would be the most suited for this?

Brugmansia in Baskets?
I think it was gordo, with orange sunshine, or new orleans lady?

"eyes", they would be the ones to ask. Why don't you send them a D-mail and ask.
Eyes,
I have done this this year and it is working wonderfully. This is a great ideal for those cutting you recieve or take from the canopy of the plant. I have some of those canopy cuttings I recieved over the last couple of yrs or have taken myself and even when a plant falls over and one of the top peaces break off which always saddens me. Just root and stick in a hanging basket.
I have done Tootsie, Dorthea, Taylor Dawn and Peanut which is perfect for a basket since I have never gotten Peanut to get very big. The watering is no different than normal.
Here is Taylor Dawn
That is so pretty. How long did it take to bloom for you, once you put her in the basket?
You are from my hubby's home town. he has not been there for years, but I think his sister still lives there. Small world. Last name is Cartwright.

It didn't take long for her to bloom Kay. I know this is atleast her second full bloom cycle and could be the 3rd. TD had already y'd by the time I had put her in the pot. Cartwright., I don't think I know anyone with that ast name.
Good question AuntB, unfortunately I'm not sure.
