Brugmansia sanguinea and a species that is rated sometimes by mistake as a subspecies - these plants are usually rated under Brugmansia friends as very sensitive in culture and they are some idiosyncrasies rumored - for example concerning the formation of flowers. It is very often claimed by growers that the plants do not tolerate full sun and need a position in the shade. When I have a look at picture material taken by brug friends from the UK and the U.S. who cultivate their sanguineas, vulcanicolas and resulting hybrids of hybridisation (x rubella and vulsas) in full sun and add my own growing experiences then that is only partially true. In each case they need a little bit more attention in care. A shaded bale is prefered - especially when the plants are kept in containers and pots.
Brugmansia sanguinea drinks up the water, especially during the summer.Water and feed the plant regularly with liquid food throughout the warmer months.
Use quality potting soil with a pot providing enough space for the root system and supports to keep from tipping over.
It cannot survive temperatures below 45° – 50° degrees Fahrenheit (7° – 10° C), but keeping it in a cooler spot during the winter encourages a healthier bloom.
Plants can grow into a large shrub, but can kept to a reasonable size with occasional pruning.Grown as a potted patio plant in locations with lots of light it makes a striking flower display.
