    Description

    DATURA INOXIA SEEDS
    also called Moon Flowers, Angel's Trumpets, and Devil's Trumpets
    Huge White, Fragrant Blooms with no rust.  The parent plant is 62 years old.
    I don't use fertilizer
    or pesticides.
    My grandmother planted these flowers in 1959.  One of the datura's roots grew against the basement foundation and has been returning as a perennial ever since, even though we are in Ohio.  It reseeds easily to provide a summer's worth of many fragrant blooms among a gray-green foliage.
    The datura will bloom from early summer and on into late autumn.  The spiny seedpods are called "sputniks" by some gardeners.
    Over the years, I have occasionally entered this flower into shows, and have won "Best of Show" twice with it.
    The height of these plants can reach 36 to 48 inches, so they are great for dressing up bare walls or hiding unattractive spots.   Grown in a container, they will still look nice, bloom profusely and yield mature seeds.
    Daturas belong to the nightshade family, just like tomatoes, potatoes, tobacco and peppers and all parts of the plant, including seeds, are poisonous.
    Thank you for looking at my listing.
