Large flushes. Flowers open whitish-cream & color up to yellow then peach to a golden orange depending on temperature (75* - 85* = darker coloring, below 75* = lighter). Scent is heavenly, reminiscent of honeysuckle & jasmine (at least to my nose). Have found that this one does not like nor tolerate full sun at all in my zone & prefers to be kept in the shadier part of my backyard with filtered sun & consistently moist soil. Brug is grown in ground & last year reached 7' tall & 6' wide. This one loves Fox Farms Ocean Forest potting soil mixed with the blend I make up before putting it in the ground. Does not seem bothered too much by pests save for cabbage lopper moth caterpillars so use BT for control.

i have grown this plant for about seven years, it is a herbaceous perennial in my zone 8 garden. the plant dies to the ground in winter, ...Read MoreI cut it to the ground before the first frost and add between 6-12 inches of mulch, yard clippings and or leaves to this plant. it comes back in spring and at this writing it is 6-7 feet tall and some 4 feet around and is covered with buds which open yellow and turn pink/peach on the second day, plant may have 100 or so blooms on it at any one time. the blooms are fragrant only after dark but is very fragrant, I suspect in its native habitat it is pollinated by moths. I am also experimenting with a yellow brugmansia which I planted two years ago and it has successfully overwinter for two years. I hope to share the name of this plant at a later date.
