My yellow one is flowering like mad - but after the first bloom the others don't seem to have been scented, is that because it is too late in the year for pollinators?

How do I look after my Brugmansias over the winter? They will be in pots, in a cold greenhouse. Do I cut them back at all? I think I have to keep them dry is that correct? If they are not cut back in Autumn, are they cut back in spring - or not at all? It is some years since I have grown them and I have forgotten  |

Well i just cut mine low enough to get them in my shed for the winter,if they are small,i dont cut at all,dont water during winter,they are dormant,i have a small fan heater in the shed,that i set to come on if the temp falls below freezing,which isnt very often in there
When i get them out,once i think the frosts have finished,i feed and water,and wait to see where the new shoots are coming from,and the dead looking wood,with no shoots,i cut back

FB says they like a lot of water - mine outside and full of buds but still not flowered Just in time for the frost then to kill them off  |

I thought that you kept them nearly dry over winter - just not sure when to start. You are going to have very late flowers Jenny, are they usually this late?
