They are supposed to be a purple angel trumpet. A friend gave to me said mother sent them from Texas 5 years ago. I know they are best when fresh so I think this is pushing it a bit but I think I'll give it a try. This was my first year with the Brugs and I am so excited about next year i want to try everything i can get my grubby hands on

The seeds look like Datura seeds, not brug seeds. Plus, there are currently no purple brugs in existence that I know of. They are often confused with each other. As far as your seeds go, 5 years is a bit long, but stranger things have happened. Give it a shot. Soak them for 24 hours or so, then plant them in a well draining soilless mix, and see what happens.

Thanks Dan

I agree with Dan - those look like Datura seeds. Lots of confusion out there and it continues when vendors (quite a few!!) refer to Datura as Angel's trumpet rather than the appropriate Devil's trumpet. Even after 5 years of drying time, no way are those Brug seeds.

I would give em a try and follow Dan's instructions. The purple Datura is a pretty one.

Thanks guys I've never seen brugs seeds but I do have a white Datura and i just assumed that the seeds would be similar. Still having fun here.

Examples of brugmansia seed.

After 3 weeks my brug seeds still had not germinated. I contacted the ebay vendor and they replied that it took anywhere from 1 to 4 weeks to germinate, and so forth. So I said then I'll not give up yet.

Never give up I have seen them take way longer than that. I use a little salt peter it helps speed up the process.

Thanks. There's green mold on the soil from being covered...guess this is okay? I have the container uncovered now.

Not OK. Mold usually, but not always, means it was far too moist. Leave whatever cover you are referring to off til the soil/media dries up a bit.

Note that if it is so moist there is mold, your seeds may be rotting.

Oh oh! I hope not, but we'll see.

You can spray the mold with a weak solution of bleach and water. I have never had a problem using it at ~ 5 %. Some people are adamant not to use it. There are also several commercial products.

Keep us posted KD - perhaps start a new thread. IIRC, this is your first attempt with seeds?

David, thanks for the tip. Yes, this is my very first attempt with seeds. I had been hovering around the Brugmansia forum for a while and am tickled every time I see a new pic upload of a beauty.

Ok i soaked the seeds for 2days and planted. Will wait and see

Those are Datura seed yes NOT brugmansia I agree. No purple brugmansia yet. We Are All Waiting on that day to come.
