ref: 1877, The Country: A Journal of Rural Pursuits, volume VIII, Brugmansias for Conservatory Furnishing., page 537:
text: In the days when I was a young man, when we spoke of Brugmansias, we never thought of Datura, but now they are both placed in horticultural works under the latter name.
ref: 1924, Gardeners' Chronicle of America, page 276:
text: Fragrance after the sun goes down is the best reason to have a brugmansia. […] Brugmansias can be grown directly in ground beds or in large tubs. […] Let’s look at some specific varieties of brugmansias.
ref: 2000, Shane Smith, “Chapter 8: A Closer Look at the Plants”, in Greenhouse Gardener’s Companion: Growing Food and Flowers in Your Greenhouse or Sunspace, revised and expanded edition, Golden, Colorado: Fulcrum Publishing, →ISBN, Ornamental Flowering Crops: Angel’s-trumpet (Datura / Brugmansia spp.), page 177:
text: After seeing a brugmansia in your e-newsletter and reading the piece about tropical plants, I was compelled to write to tell you what happened to our family last spring. I had pruned my 2-year-old brugmansia, which we know is poisonous to people and animals, into a tree form so that we didn’t have to worry about cats and children eating the leaves. […] On the porch floor, there was a dried brugmansia leaf with a hole nibbled in it. Racing the cat to the vet would prove futile, and a long 24 hours later, the cat died from the effect of the atropine poison common to brugmansias and daturas.
ref: 2005, Fine Gardening, Poisonous plants and pets, page 216:
text: In a warm space without good air circulation, conditions will also be ripe for the development of mildew or for the proliferation of pests like aphids. By the same token, keeping a brugmansia healthy in a cool, sunny space might not be so difficult — but try it in a warm room and you’ll be inviting an infestation of whiteflies. […] Some salvias, brugmansias, bananas (Musa), lemon verbena (Aloysia), Sinningia, and Bouvardia ternifolia can overwinter in the basement just in their pots. […] In the case of brugmansias, you must plan ahead in this respect. Because of their large size and slow growth rate, we’ve found that the best time to take brugmansia cuttings is in the early part of the summer for the following year. […] Brugmansia (angel’s trumpet, brugmansia) / Hardy to at least 35°F (2°C)
