Brugmansia sanguinea aka Red Floripontio
Taxonomy ID: 12617
Brugmansia sanguinea, also known as the red angel's trumpet, is a South American flowering shrub or small tree found in the Solanaceae family. This evergreen plant is characterized by its open, branching structure and abundant 20cm long tubular flowers. The flowers are red with yellow veins and bloom in autumn, unlike other Brugmansia varieties. Although they are unscented, they are highly valued for their beauty. Brugmansia sanguinea has a long history of use as an entheogen by indigenous South American tribes for shamanic purposes. While it is often believed that these plants cannot tolerate full sun and require a shaded position, there is evidence from growers in the UK and the US that suggests they can thrive in full sun with proper care. However, they do require more attention and are best suited for containers or pots with a shaded bale. Overall, Brugmansia sanguinea is a fascinating plant with unique characteristics and cultural significance.
