Datura and Brugmansia can be grown in tubs and pots in cooler climates, and directly in the garden in warmer climates.
The Datura/Brugmansia seed we do not
grow ourselves is provided from commercial growers from around
the world, and often the photo and information accompanying the
seed listing is from the grower. We have well meaning visitors
to our site from time to time who wish to correct us on a
listing or photo, but we must list the information as the
grower provides. We apologize if this causes any confusion, and
certainly appreciate any input from our customers.
We find that in growing these ourselves, sometimes an individual plant will produce somewhat different colors than shown ( while sister plants grown from same pack will be true ), this is the nature of datura and brugmansia seeds, especially from overseas growers. If you are growing seeds to sale plants, you should always allow plant to bloom before selling. If this varience is a concern, then you should not buy these seeds.
Datura
D9551 Golden Queen
Frilled Double
Large, beautifully frilled flowers of canary yellow. A showpiece in any garden, it boasts some of the largest and showiest blooms spring through fall. The blooms will face upwards and will produce a double (sometimes triple) trumpet. Each plant can have several blooms open at any given time. Although some Datura are without fragrance, this particular plant produces flowers with a delicate aroma that permeates the air at night. Their round, spiny seed pods burst open when ripe.
A half hardy annual growing to about 3-5 ft in height. This is a lovely plant bearing large, double golden-yellow trumpet flowers. Lots and lots of petal area. A magnificent new selection from seeds.
Very attractive to butterflies, hummingbirds and sphinx moths.
3590 Double White ( Datura metel )
The plant is quite compact in containers, reaching only about 1 to 2 feet high. In the garden, it forms a dense, well-branched shrub to 3 feet tall and slightly wider. Normally treated as an annual, the plant can be over-wintered in a greenhouse environment.
The ruffled Datura white double flowered like a Rose and with just a hint of cream at the center. This eye-popping datura looks like something from a hot-house instead of an easy-to-grow, sun-loving tropical you can start from seed. Beginning in early Summer and continuing until the Fall weather sets in, the plant is covered with magnificent blooms, so fragrant that a single plant perfumes the garden ( fragrance is less we have noticed when grown in containers ).
The flowers are immense with 6 to 8 inch flowers exquisitely whorled and twisted to show off their beauty. Green leaves complement the flowers. The stems and buds have a black currant stain. The flowers are followed by highly ornamental fruits, remaining decorative for long periods. All parts of plant are poisonous if ingested. Hardiness zones 7-11
IP120 Aquamarine Datura spp.
Nice compact plant with fragrant flowers, can be grown indoors. Rarely exceeds 36 inches tall, but can under some conditions.
A really beautiful datura well suited for container growing and outside gardens, but fast becoming a favorite as a houseplant. For full effect of plant, grow in a container that will hold at least 3 gallons of potting mix. This variety of Datura metel has spectacular double-flowers that are white with lavender webbing. The flowers are very beautiful and last a few days compared to the singles that last a day.
LET771 Ballerina Double White
A stunning datura with a sweet heady fragrance that is perfect for a moon garden. The blooms are huge and pure white , in elegant whorls. Wonderfully fragrant, a single plant perfumes the garden!
The upward facing, trumpet-like blooms of this datura can be 8 inches in length. They provide a double, bloom within a bloom, appearance with the swirling petals making this a very complicated trumpet like flower. In the garden Ballerina will grow to a height of 3 feet, less if grown in containers. Makes a wonderful container plant.
2127 Belle Blanche
This is one of our favorite patio plants, it is easy to care for, has fragrant blooms with a lemon-cream fragrance and maintains a good size in smaller pots, only getting 36" tall in large pots.

strongest in evening. Blooms repeatedly in the summer time.
