Typhonium trilobatum Galloway Giant Brugmansia This was quite a surprise

This was quite a surprise since it hails from the more southern provinces of Chiapas and Oaxaca where it can be found on steep sandstone cliffs near waterways in pine-oak forests

The black-green upright leaves form a delightful small 10" tall clump (rarely taller)

Dale Batchelor of Raleigh ordered it from Florida and lost track of the name

As they are sterile

Typhonium trilobatum Galloway Giant Brugmansia This was quite a surpriseTyphonium trilobatum 'Galloway Giant' is a 2022 Plant Delights JLBG introduction of a ridiculous large form of the aroid, Typhonium trilobatum, shared by the late plantsman Alan Galloway. This widespread aroid is found from India to South China, and south to Malaysia. The trifoliate leaves emerge in spring and form a 18" tall x 2' wide mound of foliage. Starting in summer, the cupped, liver red flowers start appearing from the base of the foliage.
