    There are 2 plants that have the common name of Angel Trumpet. The flowers are the same shape, but yes, one hangs down and one points up.

    The pictures you saw on our site were of brugmansias (flower down), which are tropical. The plant you want is datura (flower up), which grow in most temperate areas.

    Cutworms or most likely slugs are the issue.

    You could use Neem Oil safely and I am listing a link about slug control.
    I have luck setting our beer to safely control slugs.

    It looks to be a Datura species, which is a member of the Nightshade family. All Daturas are toxic and should not be ingested.

    It is likely too young for producing seeds this season but by next you should be able to get some flowering and seeds for saving.

    Datura is occasionally hardy down to zone 5.
    You should be fine to leave outdoors in your zone, but you always need to keep into account weather trends.
    Since it is in a pot you may want to move to a sheltered location to be safe.

    Your plant is likely a hybrid and it has possibly reverted back to one varieties it is crossed with.

    Winter care for your Datura will depend on your growing zone.
    Freezing will kill the plant to the ground and if you live in zone 8 or warmer the plant will regrow in spring.
    The plant does usually reseed itself and if you live in a colder climate you will likely see new plants starting in the spring.

    Lupines will depend on climate and variety. Some may grow as an annual and some may be a perennial variety.
    Here is a link with more information.
