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.
