Brugmansia sanguinea 'Inca Princess' (Yellow Mountain Datura) - A small Datura that comes from Andes Mountains from Colombia to Chile. Because of its montane origins it is the hardiest of the Brugmansia but also resents warm temperatures. It thrives in the cooler climate found in coastal California. Like many other selections this plant has smaller, fuzzy lobed leaves, but unlike most other B. sanguinea it has bright yellow trumpet flowers. All of the B. sanquinea bloom well with less heat than most species of Brugmansia and will endure winter lows of around 20 F. We grew this cultivar from 2001 until 2004.
This information about Brugmansia sanguinea 'Inca Princess' displayed is based on research conducted in our horticultural library and from reliable online resources. We also will relate observations made about it as it grows in our nursery gardens and other gardens we have visited, as well how the crops have performed in containers in our nursery field. We will also incorporate comments that we receive from others and we welcome hearing from anyone with additional information, particularly if they can share any cultural information that would aid others in growing it.
