Hi,

Can anyone advise if there is a garden centre that sells Brugmansias. I have looked in local garden centres but cannot find any.

Thanks

Dave

This shrub used to be very popular about 30 years ago when there was no problem in finding it in coastal garden centres.   It is very poisoness so maybe this had something to do with it's fall from grace.  The scent was very sweet and overpowering after dusk and the flowers make a lovely display.   In November it will have died back so the garden centres will probably not be interested in stocking it until better weather arrives.  If it is anywhere to be found it would be most likely in the Mojacar garden centre.  It was known also as Datura so ask for that because that is the name by which  they used to sell it there. Hope this is of some use.
