Complete Datura and Brugmansia Growing Guide

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 Double ( Datura metel )

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

MON121 Desert Thornapple ( Datura discolor )

A very nice and hardy datura that isn't appreciated as much for it's appearance as it is often used medicinally. Pure white, fluted funnel shaped blooms feature an alluring deep indigo center and sweet evening fragrance. The bloom season lasts till frost. A bit smaller foliage than other daturas with attractive bluish-green color. Datura discolor has been used as an eye medicine, gastrointestinal aid and gynecological aid by southwest American indigenous peoples. We cite this only as an interesting bit of lore about the plant, we are not recommending it for medicinal uses.

This is a delightful brugmansia with a unique color. Soft pumpkin yellow blooms simply cover this plant as it matures. It is easy to grow in containers or in the garden.
