Brugmansia Flowering

Question

I have three of the above plants (2 pink and 1 yellow).  I cut them back each fall and they seem to take a long time to grow when put back outdoors. The yellow has never flowered but has lots of foliage. Do you know why?

Answer 1

Brugs that are grown from cuttings mature to flowering age faster than brugs that are grown from seeds. Even brugs from cuttings can take up to 5 years before reaching flowering age. It is likely that the yellow one was grown from seed or is just a "late blooming" cutting.
