Commonly called Angel’s Trumpetor or Angel’s Trumpet. The plant itself originates in South America and has been used in traditional medicines by shamans there for centuries.

They grow well in all types of soil, including sand. They are very fast growers, suited to pots and effective in all gardens. Generally little maintenance is required for this plant.
