Angel's Trumpets

Angel's Trumpets or Brugmansia adds drama and fragrance to the summer garden.  Fast growers, easy to propagate and have fragrant tropical blooms for several weeks at a time.  Typically overwintered in a greenhouse this plant can be hardy here on the South Coast if given the right protection.

Part of the nightshade plant family, these plants are considered toxic so be cautious if using around children and pets.

Autumn Colour


Use autumn colour to highlight garden features. This antique urn takes center stage with the brilliant autumn colours of Hydrangea subsp petiolaris.

Climbing Hydrangea, a favourite vine of mine, turns this lovely autumn yellow, has a profusion of lacy white blooms in summer and provides shelter and nesting habitat for wildlife. Its a low maintenance self clinging climber.
