Brugmansia sanguinea

Red Angel's Trumpet

A striking ornamental shrub with dramatic, pendulous red flowers

About Brugmansia sanguinea

Brugmansia sanguinea, commonly known as the Red Angel's Trumpet, is a striking ornamental shrub or small tree native to the Andean regions of South America. This distinctive member of the Solanaceae family features pendulous, trumpet-shaped flowers in vibrant red to orange-red hues, often with yellow margins.

The plant develops a woody, tree-like structure that can reach heights of 3-5 meters (10-16 feet) in optimal conditions. Its large, elliptical leaves provide an attractive dark green backdrop for the dramatic blooms. Unlike other Brugmansia species that release their fragrance at night, Brugmansia sanguinea produces minimal scent but compensates with exceptionally vivid coloration.

🌺 Distinctive Features: The Red Angel's Trumpet is notable for its ability to withstand cooler temperatures compared to other Angel's Trumpet varieties. Its dramatic, pendulous red flowers create distinctive silhouettes, making it a spectacular focal point in evening gardens and suitable for temperate zones with mild winters.

This species offers exceptional ornamental value with its striking visual impact and architectural presence. With its relatively manageable care requirements, Brugmansia sanguinea serves as a dramatic focal point in appropriate landscape settings, bringing exotic, tropical aesthetics to temperate garden environments.

⚠️ Toxicity Warning: All parts of Brugmansia sanguinea contain dangerous tropane alkaloids. The plant is highly toxic if ingested. Exercise caution and place the plant away from children and pets. Wear gloves when handling and avoid ingestion of any plant material.

Germination Profile

Germination Rating
3.2/5.0
Germination Time
3-8 weeks
Optimal Temperature
20-24°C
Success Rate
Moderate

Key Information

  • Germination Rating: 3.2/5.0 (moderate to challenging)
  • Germination Time: 3-8 weeks under optimal conditions
  • Optimal Temperature: 20-24°C (68-75°F)
  • Viability: Moderate viability; fresh seeds perform significantly better
  • Germination Medium: Light, well-draining, sterile seed-starting mix
  • Success Rate: Moderate with fresh seeds; lower with aged seeds
ℹ️ Propagation Note: Propagation of Brugmansia sanguinea from seed requires specific techniques to overcome natural dormancy mechanisms. While propagation from cuttings is more common for commercial production, seed propagation offers genetic diversity and rewarding cultivation for dedicated gardeners.

Planting Instructions

Seed Selection & Preparation

  • Harvest or purchase fresh seeds when possible, selecting from fully matured seed pods
  • Pre-treat seeds by soaking in lukewarm water for 24 hours to soften the seed coat
  • Inspect seeds for quality and viable appearance

Germination Medium

Prepare a germination medium consisting of equal parts peat moss and perlite, or use a specialized seed-starting mix. Light, well-draining composition is essential for successful seed germination.

Planting Depth & Temperature

Plant seeds on the surface of the moistened medium, pressing lightly to ensure contact without burying. Maintain consistent bottom heat of 20-24°C (68-75°F) for optimal germination conditions.

Moisture & Humidity Management

Cover the planting container with clear plastic to maintain high humidity levels. Maintain consistent moisture without saturating the medium; mist regularly to prevent drying. Germination typically begins within 3-4 weeks but may extend to 8 weeks.

Light & Ventilation

Place in bright, indirect light with consistent bottom heat. Remove plastic covering gradually once germination occurs to prevent damping off. Provide adequate air circulation to maintain plant health.

Care After Germination

Care Rating
3.5/5.0
Soil pH
6.0-7.0
Cold Tolerance
Above 5°C

Light Requirements

Seedlings: Bright, indirect light for optimal development. Mature Plants: Partial sun with protection from intense afternoon exposure. Provide 6+ hours of light daily for robust growth.

Watering Needs

Maintain consistent moisture without waterlogging. Allow slight drying between waterings during cooler months. Red Angel's Trumpet requires regular watering during the growing season to support vigorous growth and flowering.

Soil Requirements

Use rich, well-draining soil with pH 6.0-7.0. Incorporate organic matter to improve soil structure and fertility. Ensure excellent drainage to prevent root rot, which is detrimental to this species.

Fertilization Program

Apply diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer every 2-3 weeks during growing season. Use a formulation with balanced NPK ratios (e.g., 5-5-5 or 10-10-10). Reduce fertilization during dormant periods.

Transplanting

Carefully transfer to individual containers when seedlings develop 2-3 true leaves. Handle roots gently to minimize disturbance. Use light, well-draining potting soil composed of rich organic matter.

Temperature Protection

Shield from temperatures below 5°C (41°F); young plants are particularly vulnerable to frost. The Red Angel's Trumpet offers superior cold tolerance compared to other Brugmansia varieties, suitable for temperate zones with mild winters.
