Hybridizer Database

Search The Brugmansia Cultivar Database

Sorry, no results. Please search again.

Don't know the cultivar name? Don't worry. This form will search the database for any of the categories below, or any combination of categories below. There are thousands of cultivars.

For best (and more refined) results, add as many fields as you know. Note that a search for "white" will show any cultivar with the word "white" in its title. It will also include cultivars with the words "whiter" or "whitest". Likewise, a search for only "BL" will include such cultivars as "Blanes", "Blessed" and "Dorset's Double", each of which contains the character string "BL" in the cultivar title.

Search results will show below, 48 to a page. To add additional search restrictions (e.g., white, single, trumpet flowers), just add another search characteristic. Adding additional search characteristics will restrict rather than expand the search. For example, a search for white, single, trumpet flowers will show only those results for flowers that are white AND trumpet AND single.
