I tend to grow from seed they are quite easy and there a lots on ebay and amazon.
Here are a couple of places that sell them as pot plants

One other thing, dont believe all you hear, they are not that hardy, i bring mine in over winter having lost them outside in previous years.

Hi

I definitely saw the Angel Trumpet plant in either lidl or Aldi last year... so they will most likely get them in again.... I never have been successful with them as it can get down to minus 12 in the greenhouse in the winter time.... I also remember that they were really cheap as it is usually quite an expensive plant.

Cheers

It is a very dangerous plant, although beautiful. We were warned a couple of years ago. Not one to have anywhere near children
