Mirabilis longiflora Angels Trumpets – Seeds
Long trumpets open to reveal exotic white flowers with a star-shaped magenta eye and tangerine stamens. These elegant flowers will open in the late afternoon and perfume the air with a heady orange blossom fragrance that will last through the night, attracting moths before closing again in the morning. The bushy plants with heart-shaped leaves produce tubers that, like dahlias, can withstand mild frost in well-drained soils or be lifted and overwintered with protection to re-grow the following season. Mirabilis longiflora ‘Angels Trumpets’ is a showy and unusual plant for borders and containers because it is heat and drought tolerant. 80cm (31) tall, 50cm (20) spread.
