RE: Beaumontia grandiflora - Herald's Trumpet

A beautiful plant, my friend and it forms a woody stem, clothed with leathery green leaves, and bears large, white, trumpet-shaped flowers in spring. It must be grown in a house having a minimum winter temperature of 55 degrees or may be planted outdoors in the deep South. The name commemorates Mary, Duchess of Beaumont, a patroness of botany in the early 19th century. The plant is of rampant growth and a large greenhouse or conservatory is required for its cultivation: it is unsuitable for pots.

Beaumontia is a climbing vine that can be very vigorous. The foliage is semi-evergreen. The leaves are glossy green on the upper surface and dark green and hairy underneath. They measure more than 8 inches long. The woody trunk and branches act like wires to enable the plant to grow in height. The plant produces oblong green fruits from the end of summer to fall. After the blooming season, the plant loses its leaves.

Hardiness zones 9-11 (-5°C/25°F,5°C/40°F) in winter. Under 15°C, the plant will not flower. The plant grows ideally in a heated veranda or hot glasshouse. Beaumontia grandiflora demands a lot of light and humidity.

Soil must be rich and well-drained. Beaumontia adores light, but do not place it under a direct sun. For interior plants, an extra lamp might be useful. Keep soil moist for best results.
