Tip
Angel trumpets with simple flowers are bee-friendly
If bees had a say in the purchase of an angel's trumpet, only unfilled varieties would end up in the shopping cart. The floral Brugmansia beauty queens with their lush, double flowers generally do not provide food for hungry bees. Wild species and varieties with simple flowers, however, provide a rich pollen and nectar buffet for busy pollinators.
