Appearance

"Brugmansia insignis" are shrubs or small trees reaching up to 3 to 4 m in height. The large, nodding, funnel-shaped flowers come in shades of white and pink. The flowers have a shape very similar to "Brugmansia suaveolens", but can be differentiated by their long tendrils at the corolla edge of 3 to 6 cm, and by the very narrow tubular extension to the flower corolla that is even longer than in "B. suaveolens".
