Lori when I came home from Florida last week I saw that my huge Datura bush totally moved sideways. It is already kind of laying down...and now it has new growth coming from the part that is laying down. Same thing happened to my morning glory tree. That way it turned real bushy.

Can you post a picture?

Thanks Lucy, here's a picture. Not a great photographer, but the stem is totally on the ground, as are the leaves up front.
Plant seems fine growing sideways (blooming, seed pod, etc.), but I don't know for sure.

Awwww - the poor 'wittle' thing! :) I'd get me a small stake & gently attempt to tie her up! But otherwise, she looks great! Some dats get a little bushy & tend to creep (a little).

I have a datura that did that also. Just leaning for more light, I figure.

As mine get taller they can sometimes fall over from the top heavy weight in loose soil. You can stake it or just leave it be.

all of mine have done the same thing-

All of my whites laid down too. The only ones upright are the colored ones.
