Yes, indeed, we do grow Brugs and even Daturas usually go on a few years. One fellow struggles to keep a B. sanguinea going, but the B. versicolor cultivars do fine in ground, until a hard freeze
. The common ones here are a pink and probably Charles Grimaldi which has jagged leaf edges. No one knows the actual cutivar names since they're been passed around for so long. I do white and a peachier color as well. They bloom in flushes whenever it's warm.
I have a small garden so there's only room for one in ground and that's the Charles Grimaldi-ish one. As you know they?re very heavy feeders and I?m rather lacksidaisical about fertilizing, so I don?t get the huge flushes that others might.
I've tried 3 times to post an image and struck out all 3 times. It would have been what mine looked like at 8 months old (from a .5 meter pruning); if I can ever find instructions on how to do it, I'll post the photo.
I just received IG Pro, and discovered my CD drive was CD-funct. Then I needed to change a number of security settings to get it rolling. George and I had a lively email exchange today. But it?s now loaded, even though anyone can now hack into my computer, and I do plan to start cataloging after I?ve religiously gone through the tutorials (that last is in case George reads this). My garden will never match your accomplishments, but all that work does keep me off the streets, and there might be a few interesting plants to share with others.
