Lavender Angel Trumpet flower


Lavender Angel Trumpet flower

I just put this tiny plant (about 4 inches tall) in the ground. Within a month it had grown its first flower which is bigger than the plant.

How amazing that it is growing just in the garden, we used to have the white type in a tub years ago, the scent on a Summer evening was just heavenly! I remember sitting next to it in the dark moths flying all around, trying to play solitaire with a torch!!! ........oh yes, the bottle of wine and empty glass happened to be there too!! :o)

Beautiful. This is the color I've been looking for. Where did you find it?

I found it at directgardening.com. I order most of my bushes and plants from them because their plants always arrive in healthy conditions.

Thanks Skippy. I'll give them a try. The last place I ordered from on line sent everything I ordered but very little of it survived after planting.

autumnhillnursery.com is another great place. I got my grapevines, cherry trees and almond trees from them. Within 3 days of planting, they began to bud out. (They ship their trees in a dormant state but, apparently, very healthy)
