Why hasn't my angels' trumpet bloomed again?

Hello Kathleen, One of my favorites! The beauty of Angels' Trumpet is that if in the right location and given the right care it can actually bloom all year round. Now when was the last time it bloomed for you? Is it a new plant or one that has been in the garden for years? Does it get enough shade...especially in the afternoon? Watering is also essential as it loves moist soil. What area do you live in...as closer to the coast the better they seem to fare. Thanks so much Kathleen...looking forward to getting to the bottom of this for you! Best regards~ Ian Hall

Hi Kathleen, I went ahead and checked the data you have collected in regards to your Angels' Trumpet and see that it is east facing and in a partial shade location in the Concord area of California. Angels' Trumpet is really only hardy in zones 11 and higher, although I've seen it do pretty well in zone 10 coastal regions of California. It is probably stressed from being in a hotter location that can be prone to some frost in the winter and is failing to thrive and bloom. Has it bloomed by itself since you have had it in its current location? Best regards~ Ian
