A particularly fine variety of Datura with blue-green leaves, ideal for gardeners in temperate climates because it blooms early and grows quickly, ultimately becoming a shrub-like plant up to 4ft across. The 4in, upfacing blooms have an exotic, tropical mystique and produce a sweet perfume, redolent of Honeysuckle, that's especially strong at night.

Datura is a genus of over a dozen annual and perennial species, well known for centuries for their chemical properties (no parts of the plants should be eaten). We offer a species from southwestern China with large, trumpet-like flowers. It is perennial here in Zones 6–10. Grow in average to humus-rich, well-drained soil.
