    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Few flowers could match the dramatic splendor of the “Deadly Angel’s Trumpet.” Often grown as an annual, but actually a perennial, this Datura makes a shrubby mound with blue-grey leaves a yard high & a yard across, all covered with flaring white goblets big enough to drink from (6 - 8” long). They also have an intense night fragrance! Rich soil is a must. Warning: Datura is poisonous!
