*White Flower Datura / Brugmansia / Devil's Trumpet Seeds (20)

Description: Botanical: Datura stramonium Stramonium. Datura. Devil's Apple. Jamestown-weed. Jimson-weed. Devil's Trumpet. Apple of Peru. The dried leaves are not regarded as poisonous. Description---The Thornapple is a large and coarse herb, though an annual, branching somewhat freely, giving a bushy look to the plant. It attains a height of about 3 feet, its spreading branches covering an area almost as broad. On rich soil it may attain a height of even 6 feet. The plant flowers nearly all the summer. The flowers are large and handsome, about 3 inches in length, growing singly on short stems springing from the axils of the leaves or at the forking of the branches. The calyx is long, tubular and somewhat swollen below, and very sharply five-angled, surmounted by five sharp teeth. The corolla, folded and only half-opened, is funnel-shaped, of a pure white, with six prominent ribs, which are extended into the same number of sharppointed segments. The flowers open in the evening for the attraction of night-flying moths, and emit a powerful fragrance. Browsing animals as a rule refuse to eat Thornapple, being repelled by its disagreeable odour and nauseous taste, so that its presence is not really dangerous to any of our domestic cattle. Among human beings the greater number of accidents have occurred among children, who have eaten the halfripe seeds which have a sweetish taste Datura is a perennial in zones 9 and warmer and usually lives about 4 or 5 years under good conditions. Grow as an annual in colder zones or bring in as house plant for the winter. Datura’s thrive in high heat, particularly in humid areas. Each plant can have several blooms open at any given time. They are very rapid growing plants in full sun or partial shade. Very attractive to butterflies, hummingbirds and sphinx moths. Datura’s can be started in pots or directly in the garden after last frost they also make a wonderful container plant on patios or decks. They transplant easily while small, but are more difficult to move after established in the garden. The plants/seeds/blooms are poisonous. THIS IS FOR 20 FRESH ORGANIC SEEDS AND GROWING INSTRUCTIONS.
