The Temperature for this Dedication was a challenge, however it was noted that the Dedication in this Unique Veterans Park in Sandy Springs, Georgia held on Veterans Day was Very Special for the Veterans Honored - Those who have Served, Those who are Serving and Those who will Serve to Keep the Peace for the Citizens of the United States of America!!!

 Winterizing

the 

Angel Trumpet Flower

"Datura"

I have enjoyed this Flower for many years and every Fall after the First Frost I winterize the Plant.  

Once the First Frost happens I cut the stalk flush with the soil.  Here is what the stalks look like:

I then pile at least eight inches of leaves mixed with pine straw over the stems.  I have now winterized the Angel Trumpet Plants.  I have used this procedure each year that I have enjoyed these Flowers and have yet to have a failure.

You are certainly welcome to share this with your gardening friends who also enjoy these beautiful flowers.
