Ann if it is a huge bloom AND has a lavender edge...I would grow it here :-)

but wait till the seedpod pops open by itself. then you know they are ripe. It goes real fast so keep an eye on it. Last year I tied cut up pantyhose around the seedpods...for me that did not work so well. So I just WATCH them

That is what I think about your beautiful Dat. Does is smell?

Lucy

Lucy,
It has kind of a citrusy scent at night, very strong. But the edge seems to turn white when it opens, so what you get is a large white flower.

Here's link for a picture I found on the Dave's Garden website:

OH Ann I would love to grow them here to.
Thanks
Cassie

Ann thanks. I call this one in my yard the HUGE blooming white Datura lol

Lucy

I'll keep an eye on these, and when the seedpods start to ripen, I'll be able to share plenty of seeds!
Will post again on the forum when they are ready!

Hi, I think the seeds on this are ready to harvest. I still don't know exactly which one it is, either D. meteloides or D. wrightii--but it smells wonderful at night! (LARGE white flowers, blue/green leaves.) The larger plants overwinter here in zone 5b/6. I'd be happy to send seeds for a SASE until I run out. Email me from my GW page, but use the email address there, not the message link--don't know if GW has fixed that yet.

I too have datura metel seeds I'd love to share. This plant is approx 5 ft tall & 5 ft wide with small white flowers with lovely scent; the leaves smell like peanut butter when touched; and now it has tons of large prickly seed pods that are opening little by little.

I don't know if it will reseed or if I need to start the seeds indoors, but I intend to have lots in my tropicalesque garden next summer---it is such an impressive plant. My email is martythomas2000@hotmail.com if you would like some seeds for a SAE.

I would love some too, pleeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaassssssssseeeeeeeeeee my only datura died last winter.

Luvbrugs, please send me an email!
