How to prune double angel's trumpet

Late winter to early spring before new growth; or autumn for overwintering container plants. Cut back the previous season's growth, removing dead and damaged stems entirely and shortening remaining shoots to healthy outward-facing nodes. The double form is no harder to prune than the species — same Y-junction principles apply.

Annually; light shaping throughout the growing season is optional. Brugmansia suaveolens 'Plena' (double-flowered) behaves like other angel's trumpets — it blooms on new wood so annual pruning promotes flowering. Prune in late winter or early spring, removing dead wood and cutting back leggy stems. Container plants can be hard-pruned before overwintering. Gloves are essential; the whole plant is toxic.
