Angel Trumpet are very easy to grow from seeds. They also reseed themselves here in the South. I have a garden full of very large plants that reseeded themselves this year. |

I am trying to root a cutting that I aquired  from a pink oleander bush last week. So far I don't see any roots coming out but where one of the flowers fell off it seems as though it might be forming a seed pod. So maybe I will get lucky one way or the other. BTW I LOVE Angel Trumpets!!!!!!!!!!!They are fantastic. Next spring I want to try planting some.

Angels Garden, snip that seed pod off. When rooting clippin don't want flowers or seeds forming. These will stress out your clipping by trying to feed them too. I tried rooting lantana like Judomi said. If she hadn't said it could be done I would have given up but I waited patiently and it did work. It took what seemed like forever but it did work. Thank you Judomi. |

Didn't even think about that! For shame! I guess if this doesn't work I could always go back and see if the bush has any seed pods that are mature. |

It's all a learning game for all of us. It is just a matter of sharing what we know with others so that we can all learn more together. That is why I love this place so much. Just check out this thread and you will see you are not alone... http://www.gardenguides.com/forum/showthread.ph p?t=19215 I am right there with you. LOL |

Thanks MamaBear, I set that seed pod up to dry anyway, just in case the seeds may be formed all of the way. It seems pretty swollen. Just have to wait and see. |

I'm trying lantana again this year. It's the best way to get the colors that I like.
