Care essentials
Light
Angel's Trumpet thrives in full sun to part sun in NE Florida. In the hottest months, light afternoon shade reduces heat stress and water demand while still supporting vigorous growth and prolific blooming.
Water
Angel's Trumpet is a heavy water user and wilts quickly in NE Florida's heat without consistent irrigation. Water deeply every 2–3 days during dry periods; mulch heavily to retain soil moisture. Container-grown plants may require daily watering in summer.
Soil & Fertilizer
Plant in organically rich, well-drained sandy or loamy soil. In NE Florida, amend with compost to improve water retention. Feed with a balanced fertilizer every 2–3 weeks during the growing season to support the plant's rapid growth and large flower production.
