Brugmansia 'Pink Velvet' - A strong growing large shrub or small tree to 8 to 12 feet tall with fragrant 8 to 10 inch long trumpet shaped pink flowers that hang down vertically near the branch tips. Plant in full coastal sun to light shade and water regularly to occasionally. Has proven hardy to 25 degrees F and can resprout from base if top is frozen. This plant is a hybrid in the B. x cubensis group, which are those considered to be hybrids between B. suaveolens, B. versicolor, and B. aurea. It was made by Brugmansia hybridizer J.T. Sessions at his Country Garden in Milton, Florida in 2003 by crossing Brugmansia 'Pink Beauty' and B. 'Ecuador Pink'. The plant was introduced after it was first listed in the Brugmansia Growers International Herald in Fall 2004 and is considered to be one of the best and richest colored of the pink flowering tree daturas. It is a sister seedling hybrid to another cultivar called 'Velvet Rose'. 

This information about Brugmansia 'Pink Velvet' 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.
