Possibly the most popular of the modern hybrids, ‘Charles Grimaldi’ produces large, opulent fragrant blooms reliably in bursts throughout the late summer and into autumn.

It is properly called Brugmansia x cubensis ‘Charles Grimaldi’ as it is the creation of an x candida hybrid (from B. aurea and B. versicolor) itself hybridised with a B. suaveolens. Probably because of this genetic soup, 'Charles Grimaldi' is especially vulnerable to Datura mosaic virus which, while incurable, is mostly benign causing a mottled pattern on the foliage especially in low temeratures. 

Alternatively pick one up at a plant show or fair where they will be available in various sizes.
